Unless there is an inconsistent decision in another Circuit, the USSC may not take this case. If the D.C. Circuit got it right, there is no need to take it.

I just realized that a few hours ago. The precise law in question does not extend beyond the DC Circuit's jurisdiction, and the verdict is correct - ergo there is no inter-circuit conflict, no "equal protection" issue, and no need to refine or correct the current verdict further. SCOTUS knows there will be major future cases hinging on Parker, but those are by definition "future cases" and need not be addressed or (in their eyes) averted until they actually happen.

The pro-RKBA judges will have nothing substantive (but weight) to contribute to the case, and actually have no reason to grant cert because, strictly speaking, they have nothing to add.
The anti-RKBA judges are actually the ones more likely to grant cert precisely because they don't like the current verdict.

Fenty had to appeal.

I predict SCOTUS will not accept the case. Really, they have nothing to add.
