I do not fear a SCOTUS ruling. But here is what I expect:
2nd Amendment is an individual right, but "Reasonable" laws can be put in place.
Then we get to define "reasonable".
Think Freedom of Speech and Freedom of Religion. There are laws restricting certain speech (definitely around election time) and laws restricting certain religious activities (Human and animal sacrifice, use of banned drugs during ceremonies, etc).
Me? I wouldn't outlaw anything. If a person can afford a Raptor, why not? During the early days of this country, many well to do men owned cannons and loaned them to their militias. Privately owned merchant vessels were armed. Most people these days would not take up the ownership.
Now, using weapons could be restricted. I expect that using an RPG against a home invader would be a bit overkill. And I expect sales of arms out of the country could be restricted.
