Cool that they are going to look at this before the year is out.

So really...what is the probability that the ban will be overturned?

Great. Looking forward to a few more official details.

I am not holding my breath but - the outcome is going to be more than a little important in the general sense.

Much rides on it.

I'm not too sure I'm thrilled about this. This could cut either way.

Damm they granted cert to hear any part of the case . Now i will re read everything tomorrow , but a grant of cert is likely to go twards freedom with this court . IMHO the court will without a dobut decide that the 2nd is an individual right , but the question we all want to know is just what are reasonable restrictions of said right . That q will make many more cases for the scous , but for the first time they are taking up the issue . Interesting times .... as the old chineese curse says lol

Is it possible that they can rule in favor of Heller w/o that being a de-facto statement regarding "the militia is everyone" ?

I'm sure they'd like to decide in favor of Heller but on the caveat that it is not to be misconstrued ... can anyone think of some leftist gymnastics that would allow a judgement for Heller but at the same time NOT imply something regarding individual rights?

What rides on it? Even with a win, I doubt things will change that much. Outright bans might be rejected, but as long as "reasonable regulation" is allowed, what difference does that make? Ok, so DC and Chicago residents are not banned from owing a handgun -- rather, they would likely fall into the draconian NYC-style rules, which are essentially not very different.

So, aside from the tiny handful of places upshifting from "outrageously oppressive" into "merely NYC-level oppressive," what difference do we see this making?

I don't see this leading to mass-scale repeal of any existing gun laws, aside from total bans which are irrelevant to most of us here.

What am I missing?
