I read about this a few weeks ago. The anti gun crew plan on appealing. It will be interesting to see what SCOTUS says about the second amendment. This decison could have far reaching consequences. I wonder how many criminals actually followed the law in DC anyway?
I think SCOTUS will pass this one like a dead skunk on the road. They don't want to touch it and have deliberately avoided it for a very long time. If they yes it is an individual right, it could and should throw most of the BATFE regs out the window. I don't think they want to decide at all, and most likely will make some cheese dip ruling like in the Newdow case about the pledge and send it back to the lower court.

Wasn't there a judge in texas who made a ruling in favor of gun rights citing the second amendment? I could be mistaken in my recollection.
