Almost certainly. And it probably will be overturned--and should be, in my opinion. The overwhelming majority of case law for 200 years has indicated that regulation of firearms is okay--as long as it doesn't PREVENT peoplefrom owning gus.
But--the right-wing isn't going to like the ruling, unless theCourt really goes off on a tangent, which I don't expect. They rule that the DC ban is unconstitutional. But they are almost certainly going to make clear that regulation (registration, licensing, waiting-periods, etc.) are allowable, as long as they don't have the effect of prohibiting gun oweership by law-abiding citizens.
BTW--I'm a liberal. Thsiis is simpy my opiniion. But--thiswil surprise the cons--many liberals (including me) have firearms. In fact, liberals own more than conservatives do. :)

I believe this. Why might desire to an upstanding citizen be barred from dealing with weapons whilst criminals gets their palms on one even with the regulation? I plan on doing some entertainment capturing as quickly as I become previous (if people canpersistent at severe speeds in a controlled atmosphere for exciting, i'm going to be on the form, thank you), and that i'm no longer attempting to be counseled that i'm able to deal with numerous quite a number of risky equipment on a street with infinite individuals in all kinds of climate yet no longer hearth projectiles at a paper objective from a hand-held piece of kit.

I know, you live there, and it's all about our individual back yards, right?
Just remember that if it weren't for Chicago, IL would be a red state. I had never heard of K. Pulaski before moving to the state, and that's a great example of what can happen - if voters push hard enough, anything is possible. (for those of you outside, Kazimir P. was a cavalier general from Poland that trained cavalry during the revolution for us. There's lots of Polish descended people living in Chicago.) There's plenty of voters in Chicago.

states arms & militia... it's on the table now. Except they are actually on vacation.

Missing the days of Jane Byrne and Harold Washington are we? The windy city does what it damned well pleases with or without D.C.'s approval! Just look what that moron mayor did to Meigs Field!

With a total gun ban, Washington DC has more murders by gun fire than both contiguous states combined.

That would be how it works when the Supreme Court makes a decision.
Not much room for interpretation in that.

Yes they will. The crime rate will probably go down when it does.
