They said that Heller said the need for 2A protection was especially acute in the home, but they twice indicated that it was the "efficacy of self defense" that was a 2A issue.

And what is stopping liberal court to rule that the home will be the only place not considered "sensitive"?

The handgun ban amounts to a prohibition of an entire class of ‘arms’ that is overwhelmingly chosen by American society for that lawful purpose.”

But what did DC do? They disallowed Heller's semi-automatic handgun and said they would only allow revolvers to be posessed in the home.

You have to understand how liberals will twist this or complacency on our side will result in a gutted 2A.

The same thing that is stopping a Constitutional Convention from being called to rescind the 2nd amendment, I suppose. But in your post number 5, you said we have already reached the point where the home is the only protected place, and we have not. You said:

The 9th decided that as long as a law does not restrict your ability to posess and defend your home with a firearm, it is not unconstitutional.

They did not say that. They said that the county could restrict guns in sensitive places, and went on to say that a fairgrounds is such a place, but also questioned whether a parking lot is such a place. Questioning whether a parking lot is a "sensitive place" is a long way from saying that the home is the only place that is not sensitive.
