Charles, my concept is that we lost the rights in little steps, and if it worked for the banners, little steps could work for us.
Also, the more little steps we get set as precedent, the easier the later steps will become.

Well, I see it as a clear cut case. This court will rule that the 2A is an individual right, IMHO. Further they will rule that the DC ban is invalid. One reason I say this is that they very narrowly worded the question so as to not rule on any licensing or unlawfully carrying issue. Note that they restricted it to possession in your own home.
As I pointed out in the TX.guns NG, this court has shown a predisposition to give individuals rights in their home, with the Texas sodomy law as my example. The minor changes since that ruling are more supportive of gun rights, so this is my guess.
ANd, if they rule that way, I am going to try to buy a brand new M4 from Colt in full auto. When I get turned down, I will try to sue to get that clause of the FOPA overturned. Leave all of the other rules on background checks and tax stamps in for now, just allow new class III weapons to be made. Well, if I have the money and can find a lawyer, I will.
