Just part of the plan. The goal is to take RKBA to SCOTUS, which can only be done by working thru layers of appeals courts.

Didn't actually matter who won in this case...it was designed so that the loser MUST appeal; the pro-RKBA side expected a loss because it was the status quo to do so.

Just keep pushing such cases thru the judicial system until either SCOTUS accepts one and rules pro-RKBA, or SCOTUS rejects so many the point is made. (SCOTUS won't accept a case they would rule anti-RKBA on due to the obvious public response.) The question is how many SCOTUS-rejected RKBA cases it will take to add up to the equivalent of an unacceptable SCOTUS ruling.

Silveria V Lockyer was rejected. If I'm right, this was the NRA's idiot idea to challenge the DC gun ban by filing this lawsuit demanding the RIGHT to register their guns. Holding this up while stabbing the Silveria case in the back was not a smart maneuver by the NRA-ILA.
