Oh, they’re desperate for that 30 days to work their asses off trying to word an appeal that actually makes some kind of sense, instead of their previous dreck which might very well induce SCOTUS to respond “your appeal is stupid, and we have nothing to add to the well-done currently standing verdict”.
This 30 days is basically their last chance to save gun control (ultimately to wit: prohibition) in the USA. Oh, sure, they may get a half-hour to argue it in person, and dismantling 20,000 laws may take 20,000 cases, but if they don’t come up with a well-reasoned and compelling argument (to wit: “the Founding Fathers plainly did not mean what they plainly wrote in the 2nd Amendment”), they’re gonna suffer a bigger loss than we did with _Miller_ (and that’s taking over 70 years to fix).

It doesn’t matter, the issue will be political, not legal. The courts will do what they desire on this, not what the law demands
