I hope that I am wrong, but, I have a feeling that we are not going to like what they come up with.

The Brady bunch expects to loose this one. They are already plotting alternate gun control measures.

"I hope that I am wrong, but, I have a feeling that we are not going to like what they come up with."

Looking at the facts, we know that four of the justices will rule in our favor. The ultimate swing vote is Kennedy and if we can read into his questioning, there is no doubt that they will rule that the 2A affirms a right of personal ownership of firearms. I think by that logic they will have to strike down D.C.'s gun ban because it bans a whole class of firearms and makes the citizens keep their long guns inoperable.

The rest is where its up in the air. Will they remand the case back to the lower court to decide what is a reasonable retriction? Who knows. We will definitely like at least part of the ruling. The rest is up in the air.

One other thing, I believe if Buzzy Ginsberg and Souter rule for D.C. they will be going against their consent of a written majority from a lower court ruling they sat on. Not that it would be astonishing that judges would be duplitious, but it could possibly be a 7-2 decision also.
