Everyone and his horse predicts McDonald will rein in Chicago and all other state and local jurisdictions. It would formally extend the Heller principle -- that the Second Amendment guarantees the individual right to armed self-defense -- to the entire nation. If it goes any other way we are well and truly augered.
One of the interesting speculations is whether the court will have taken note of D.C. attempts to all but nullify Heller. Will the justices offer some guidance on where "reasonableness" ends as hoplophobic local governments try to maximize their power to disarm the honest segment of the population?
