although SCOTUS did leave the door open for lots of regulation, it was held in the decision that DC MUST issue Heller his license. Along in the rest of the decision that a ban on 'commonly used' weapons cannot be constitutionally banned, a 7 round semi-auto magazine cannot be made illegal by trying to redefine a semi-auto that feeds a magazine from the bottom as a fully automatic weapon. If thats the case, I've got a Glock worth 15k in DC.
