Because, right now, the finding only applies to DC. If the keep it out of the USSC, it will just affect DC gun law - and to heck with the rest of us.
See, they would rather DC gun law gets trashed, than ALL THE DANG GUN LAWS IN THE COUNTRY do.
Which is why Mayor-for-life Barry moved to repeal the law.
I was wondering if I would post to you my questions about this.
I can understand the NRA was nervous about this. It has a lawyer who doesn't own a gun pushing this. I suppose in the NRA's thinking, the lawyer could have taken this to the Appeals court with the intention of losing. It would have been a victory for the anti's.
Does this actually affect all gun laws if we win before the Supreme Court or will the anti's expect a ruling on the 20,000 gun laws on the books. I can see an anti saying, "yeah, you have a right against an outright ban but not ridiculous taxation". They don't understand 27 words so why would they understand a 27 page decision?
