Believe me when I say I hate to say this, but DC won't loose. The opinion will be the most terrible departure from history and logic you will have ever read, but the teeth will be pulled from the 2nd amendment.

I wouldn’t bet on that. The Parker decision is very long, did you read the whole thing? It affirms that states can regulate the bearing of arms, even though that wasn’t at issue in Parker. Washington D.C. is the only place in this country that actually prohibits handgun ownership. The next worst places are New York, Boston, and Chicago. Although you have to jump through a lot of hoops in New York, you will eventually get the permit to own the handgun. I don’t know about Boston and Chicago, I’ve heard it is the same in those cities.

But if it does, what do you predict will happen AFTERwards?
