I think they will. 1. It wipes out the heart of their ordinance. 2. Any failure to go for cert. would be a public admission that they think they'll lose. 3. From a broader standpoint, DC is the one circuit they can't afford to lose. You can ALWAYS sue the federal government in DC -- it "resides" there, so to speak, by statute. That means all federal firearms controls are now exposed to 2nd Amendment challenge (provided you establish standing, of course). They can't ignore a DC Circuit decision. _______________________________________________ To post, send message to [email protected] To subscribe, unsubscribe, change options, or get password, see http://lists.ucla.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/firearmsregprof Please note that messages sent to this large list cannot be viewed as private.
