you have to understand the judges.

The test would be one of “strict scrutiny” so you could actually HAVE a fundamental individual right AND the ban on handguns. The court could find it is the TYPE of gun banned and since you could own a highly regulated long gun, the strict scrutiny test could be passed.

The letter of the law is irrelevant here. It is the minds of the judges that matter.
