But that ruling has no effect outside of DC. It only firms up the disagreement between the circuits as to the meaning of the second amendments "right of the people".
Yes the SC might F it up, but they are, IMHO, more likely to affirm the DC Circuit court, which ruling would set national precedence.
But then again we can't have the Supreme Court disagreeing with R.P. about the meaning of "the people" in the second amendment, as well as the rest of the bill of rights.
True. But I got the impresion that's all the poster was interested in. Second, a U.S. Supreme Court decision may go no farther than that.
"which ruling would set national precedence."
It sure could, couldn't it?

Hey, we can always hope for an activist court, huh? About time they ruled one in our favor. Right on!
