If the Supreme Court rules the only way to get it changed is a constitutional amendment or get the court to reverse itself. The chances of either of them happening is, well, like a snowball in hell.
Now you know why this case is so important. It's the final word. now on the bright side we would still have state constitutions in some states.

From what I understand, once the court rules, the only way to change that is to appeal to a higher court or change the law.
What happens if the SC decides it's not an individual right? Is that it then? From now until the end of time, individuals have no right to keep and bear arms?
There's no higher court, and I think it's going to get awful chilly in hell before anyone 'revises' the constitution.
From what I understand, popular opinion says it is an individual right. If the worst happens, is there no way to reverse it?
Somebody please tell me I'm wrong...I'm scaring myself.
