Here's the Parker complaint:
http://www.cato.org/pubs/legalbriefs/gunsuit.pdf This is a better gun-right case for Supreme Court consideration because:
1 - It regards the District of Columbia - not a state - thus there's no issue as to whether the 2nd Amendment is incorporated against the states.
2 - The plaintiffs are law-abiding, thus sympathetic.
3 - It regards the most draconian gun-control law possible: The out-law of possession in the home. Thus, there can be no argument that even if the 2nd Amendment is an individual right, X regulation is reasonable regulation consistent with that right. The issue is thus squarely presented to the court: Is there an individual right to bear arms?

Draconian? How about California's outlawing your possession of something that was legal when you bought it?
Not only that, but the 9th Circus shot down the 14th Amendment as well as it's denial of the scope of the 2nd.

Big friggin deal.
If the SCOTUS insists on treason, the best case in history will not move them.
If they insist on upholding the Constitution and their oaths, the feeblest case would be easily upheld, as the truth is plain.
Only treason could deny it.
