DC v Heller

Just to roll the dice for all the marbles (a fine mixed metaphor), let me post here what I've said in a number of other fora in regard to District of Columbia v. Heller.   The Supreme Robes will draft a very narrow decision striking down the District's blanket handgun ban, but rule that reasonable time, place, and manner restrictions will be allowed.  I don't think the court will go for strict or even heightened scrutiny as a standard of review of statutes, but merely "rational" scrutiny.

In other words, DC residents might be able to keep handguns and long arms in their homes or 
apartments, but other than that there will be no measurable change to the American legal world - vis a vis firearms - after the ruling comes down.

To quote Gene Wilder as Willy Wonka, "The suspense is terrible!  I hope it will last."
