This case was about the District denying residents the right to posess a handgun in their own home for self defense. Not about zoning laws and the first ammendment.
If the supreme court finds that the section of the transportation article allowing capital punishment for turning right on red without stopping is excessive, that does not mean the fine for exceding the speed limit by 1-9 mph is also tossed.

Look, I think I understand your position, but I was not talking about where you buy your guns, that's a different ball of wax which, as you pointed out, was not addressed by the ruling.
