Even if the appeals opinion is upheld, it shouldn't affect anyone else in the country. At least, not those who actually live in states.
DC is a very special case where it's authority rests ultimately with Congress.
Thus, any gun ban really would have to come from them, not the mayor or municipal government of the district.
To add to that, the "Congress shall make no law..." section really, IMO makes DC a gun amusement park.
Comparing what happens there to any gun bans around the country is comparing apples to prime-rib.
