Prediction: Narrow focus on DC, and not the rest of the country. All that will change is that DC citizens will be able to purchase handguns under continuing Federal controls. Concealed Carry is another matter entirely.

I won't bet against you.

They can’t produce a narrow interpretation limited to DC. Currently there is a conflict between appelate courts, with the 9th Circuit ruling in favor of a collective right, while the 5th Circuit ruled in favor of an individual right.

The Supreme Court needs to produce a ruling that will apply uniformely throughout the US.

I suspect, though, if DC loses, they will just write regulations that will produce the same effect as a ban and just start the process again from scratch.
