The SCOTUS ruling will be narrowly focused on the District of Columbia and follow along the lines that even though there is protection for the citizens under the 2nd Amendment, there is nothing in the provisions with regard to local control over weapons ownership in an area not covered by the 'states' provision of the 2nd Amendment.
Mark my words.

Actually, Art 6 para 2 Supremacy Clause relates to ANY laws made under it's purview. Congress, being nominally "in charge" of DC is restricted explicitly by "shall not be infringed". Has nothing to do with being a State, and everything to do with Congress simply not possessing said power to infringe.
Past due time for their unConstitutional expansions of legislative power to be repealed en banc.

Okay, duly noted.
However, if the USSC noted that there is protection for the citizens under the Second Amendment, would it or would it not be a change in opinion?
