Nice dodge. Let me ask again. Would a bad ruling in Heller change the legal status of the RKBA anywhere in the US: "YES" or "NO"?
The DC Circuit already ruled that. What's SCOTUS going to add?
If SCOTUS upholds Circuit, it doesn't have to add anything else. That alone would strengthen the RKBA in the US.

Ooooh. I get to pick? I favor a ruling that awards me $10 million dollars
I would really like a straight answer to this. What would be the correct way for SCOTUS to rule in Heller, in your opinion? Like you said, "Don't hide. Don't slink away now. Stand up for what you believe in. Be counted."
No. Not directly.
"Nice dodge."
Dodge? Me? You're the one who's dodging the potential ramifications of a bad ruling by simply focusing on whether or not the ruling has a direct impact on current laws.
"If SCOTUS upholds Circuit, it doesn't have to add anything else. That alone would strengthen the RKBA in the US."
Why? If SCOTUS adds nothing, then the ruling only affects D.C.
"What would be the correct way for SCOTUS to rule in Heller, in your opinion?"
I don't like the word, "correct". That implies that any other decision is incorrect.
I told you how I think they will rule in my post #54. It's also quite possible they'll rule that the second amendment does not protect an individual right outside of a Militia.
Either decision is consistent with the U.S. Constitution and the second amendment.
