Yes, but the real issue to the rest of the country isn't whether or not the lower court's decision is upheld. The real issue, and why this case was "tailor made" to come before the court, was to get a ruling on whether or not the 2A secures an INDIVIDUAL'S right to keep and bear arms. That's what I'm looking for from this court.

As for the NFA, GCA, etc., I say one step at a time. Let's get the court to rule that the 2A is an individual right first, then we can work on other unconstitutional regulation that's been passed in the last 100 years or so. If they can't even decide the above, then there's NO WAY automatics will be unregulated.
