Fabs
It was the U.S. District Appeals Court that ruled against D.C. and declared the ban unconstitutional.
You are correct in your assumption that if the SCOTUS were to rule these actions uncontitutional all hell would break loose. That would blow the LIBERAL slant that 2nd Amendment only applies to the Militia all to pieces.
This gets to be almost as big a fight as the Posse Commitatus act. I think that came close to being broken in N.O. I always understood it to mean Government Troops can't/won't be utilized against civilians. That worked well in Lousyana.
The Military were more than happy to go around and collect private citizens firearms. Don't get me started on that subject.
I don't know how many layers there are to the State, Federal Justice system. I can tell you if you ever read a Government Organizational chart you'd have a headache. What a goat rope.
Best wishes, Bill
