How so? Most of the rulings that have come down since the recent

Times change, people change.

It's simply back to the rewrite desk until they get what's needed to
withstand all legal challenges.

What's to stop DC from putting in regulations so onerous that they
amount to a ban (which is what they've already discussed doing)?


Who knows, maybe that's what will happen.


And it will be back in the Supreme Court and this time the Justices will be
_****ed_, possibly enough so to pull the plug on _all_ firearms regulation.
The ruling specifically stated that regulations constituting a defacto ban
were not acceptable. The Supremes generally don't like it much when having
made such a statement the legislators try it anyway.
