If the Supreme Court rules that the DC gun ban is legal. Doesn't it give other states, counties, or cities the power to ban other things like say, abortion? Or even grants them the power to legalize things like drug use.
I doubt the status quo is
ever going to change.

And yet everyone misses the first part of the 2nd amendment regarding a "well-regulated militia." The right only extends to arming the national guard insofar as it provides for collective security.

There's more then one interpretation to the word militia. It could mean any person of the appropriate age capable of utilizing arms. Guns are already a well-regulated commodity. So anyone who adheres to the gun laws, and practices their accuracy/efficiency at a gun range falls under the 2nd Amendment.
It's not like the NRA is advocating the rights of felons to own and utilize firearms anyway.
There's nowhere I can't reach.
