I’m almost willing to bet that the Supremes won’t even comment on this, as nobody there seems to want to touch this.

The losing party has to appeal. If they don’t it all ends right here.

If D.C. appeals the Supreme Court may decide to hear the appeal or not. If they refuse to hear the appeal the lower court ruling stands.

If they agree to hear the appeal, that’s when things get interesting.

Is this the case that defined the Bill of Rights as completely individual rights?

They probably won't unless another Circuit reviews the issue, and comes to a different conclusion.

Conversely, the surest way to get certiorari to the Supreme Court would be to bring a challenge before, say, the 9th Circuit. Once they bat down the challenge, the Supreme Court would be far more likely to review the case. (Of course, there is no guarantee the Supreme Court ruling would be favorable. It could drastically set back firearms rights just as easily as it could vindicate them.)
