Where do we stand after Heller?

Yep, "we" are 0 for 60, and it's gonna get worse before it gets better.

Pre Heller, most of the lower courts were on record as opposing the individual rights position Heller took, and they still are. For example, a federal judge in the 7th Circuit Court just upheld Chicago's handgun ban. Most of 'em are gonna take the position that Heller applies to DC and the feds, not anybody else (cities, counties, and states).

This is gonna happen over and over again while all the issues Heller did not adress and/or was ambiguous on work there way back to the SCOTUS for incorporation and/or clarification.

In the shot show video MB interviews Dick Heller and HE seems to have half a dozen additional suits either in the courts or in the works. Plus the SAF suit against Chicago, and SF just settled with the NRA and CCRKBA about legal guns in public housing, most likely because SF knew that they would lose with the current SCOTUS members.
