Joshua Horwitz, director of the Education Fund to Stop Gun Violence, who filed a brief in the case and watched the arguments, conceded he cannot count five votes for a strictly militia-rights view of the Second Amendment that would allow for almost unlimited regulation of firearms. But he could conceive of five justices adopting an individual-rights view that will mean "a lot of regulations will be OK. The outcome is not necessarily poor for us."

Mr. Horwitz and others also expressed surprise that Alan Gura, the advocate who argued against the District of Columbia's ordinance, conceded that banning machine guns and other weapons, as well as "reasonable" licensing requirements for gun ownership, would be permissible under his interpretation of the Second Amendment.
