I believe local/state restrictions will be upheld in the form of "reasonable" restrictions. This leaves the door open for interpretation of "reasonable" and naturally keeps lawyers employed for the next 50 years fighting over the meaning of it. This is not really the outcome I'd like to see, but I'd be shocked to see even this "conservative" court uphold "shall not be infringed" to actually mean "shall not be infringed" meaning the citizenry can own whatever they want. This is (IMHO) what the FF intended, but I'd be very surprised to see the court interpret it that way.

But one can hope. . .

I will, however, hold off on buying an AR-15 until the court's decision. How badly would it suck to buy a stupid 10-round-limited setup only to have the court lift state/local restrictions and then have to go out and buy a whole new lower receiver assembly? Not likely, but knowing my luck, that's what would happen if I bought one today.

Aww hell, maybe I'll just go get a shotgun instead for the time being.
