What will happen is the SCOTUS will affirm the 2nd Amendment right on the DC area. Since DC comes under the jurisdiction of Federal guidelines, and therefore subject to any federal legislation passed, the Supremes will just make the DC area under the same restrictions of BATF rules as everyone else in the country, thereby putting the DC residence under the same 4473 provisions and GCA of 1934 and 1968, and ignore the individual right issue.

The precedent this might set is that municipalities cannot supercede state or federal law to their own ends as far as gun control issues, a la New York City and Chicago.

Every jurisdiction already is under "the same 4473 provisions and GCA of 1934 and 1968", DC included. If SCOTUS "ignores the individual right issue", they must conclude there is nothing in federal law saying a subordinate jurisdiction cannot add more restrictions, and the DC ban is just as Constitutional as 4473, NFA '34, GCA '68.

Recognizing RKBA as individual is crucial - and hopefully unavoidable.
