I think you may be right. I was leaning toward Heller and MacDonald successes, but there certainly has been a lot of uncertainty in the SCOTUS of late.
At any rate, it'll likely take years before it gets that far, and we ought to have a much different court by then. It could go either way...

I hope this case goes to the Supreme Court.

Don't be so easy on the guy. It is simply a quest for "reasonable gun control" disguised by florid, non-aggressive, almost pleading prose. I see it as nothing more than a different approach to the same agenda. In the analysis, he has said nothing new.
Example: "When I gaze into your eyes...
Hearts and minds don't change that fast. Don't be taken in by the hype. The hype is all you'll hear for a while. With our Right to Keep and Bear Arms, it is a different story. Even those who pretend otherwise, know that one armed person could have stopped what happened in Newtown, or in...
In my opinion, not less than two guns in each category in every caliber you prefer.
The caliber choices, of course, are yours.
Not less than 1000 rounds in each caliber above 22 rimfire. Not less that 10,000 rounds 22 rimfire or smaller.
I am not fully well rounded yet. Your wishes and...
I have provided this service as an FFL myself. It is perfectly legal. It is also true that an FFL dealer may refuse to get involved with a transfer of a firearm received from an out-of-state individual. It is a matter of discretion.
I have also logged in and transferred out (shipped) an...
The article said they want to pass "meaningful" legislation. I guess that means they want something that will accomplish their stated goal of keeping guns out of the hands of violent criminals and diagnosed mentally unstable dangerous people. Nothing short of keeping these people locked up will...
I can answer this one:
The right protected by the Second Amendment assures public safety. It IS the balance against criminal activity, despotism and tyranny.

It appears to be an opening salvo in the nationalization of police forces.
If it has been the purview of the ATF to handle and halt all this "gun violence," where have they been for the last ump-t-ump years? It looks to me like they've been biding their time waiting for the appearance that...
Here's the definition of "to regulate" from the Founding Father's day:
Johnson's Dictionary of the English Language (1755)
To REGULATE. v. a. [regula Lat.]
1. To adjust by rule or method.
Nature, in the production of things, always designs them to partake of certain, regulated...
Thank you, hso, for bringing this up here. This demonstrates a new tactic by the anti-gun rights crowd. They wish to implement regulations ex post facto to cover what they have been engaged in for some time. I guess they are taking a clue from "Star Wars" where when the Sith lord was asked by...
My apologies. I thought you might already be cognizant of the US Code regarding this. It is 18 U.S.C. § 798 and can be viewed here. I am not aware of any court action that guts this code.
Yes, it has been focused and I will continue to be focused. I am interested in your opinion of the...
