Yes and no. The ninth circuit and the DC circuit courts of appeal now have opposed viewpoints. This obviously must be settled in the supreme court... someday. Now? Do we have the requsite judges in our pocket? The stakes are VERY high...
It appears that finally a supreme court hearing is unavoidable. They have historically avoided the issue. They seem to understand that a ruling against the individual freedoms guaranteed by the 2nd amendment would result in civil unrest and perhaps an armed uprising - this is why they have not accepted a case for so long. The fray now seems unavoidable.
The good thing is that the supreme court now has a well researched decision in our favor by the DC appeals court.
Good sense could well prevail... but remember they overturn themselves seldom, and 'Miller' is still the law of the land. Miller says, if you read the text of today's decision, that you have no intrinsic right to any weapons without militia applications. That the item in question in 'Miller' was one banned under NFA is a moot point.
This could still go either way. Remember, these are the self-same idiots who ruled after strict reading of The Constitution, that the government does have a compelling reason to racially discriminate (UM law admissions) and the same folks who ruled against the very concept of private property by extending the power of eminent domain to non-governmental bodies.
