The Court probably just did the prudent thing by denying an en banc hearing of the case, since however they ruled, the losing side would almost certainly have appealed to the Supreme Court. Now unless the USSC declines cert (or Brady, et al. decide that discretion is the better part of valor and persuade DC not to appeal) we'll be hearing from the Supremes on just what, if anything, shall not be infringed. Of course any Supreme Court decision could be either broadly or extremely narrowly decided, and as clear as day or as vague, ambiguous, self-contradictory and confusing as Massachusetts gun laws.

Course the question of the day is, Ken... what happens
if the supremes do not want to review the case? Does it
then go onto the stage where a "remedy" gets applied,
and then at that point, something tangible happens?

If the supremes hear the case, I suspect their ruling would be along the lines of "sensible gun control is ok, but gun banning is not." The devil is in where the "sensible" line is drawn...But if/when the USSC picks it up and either agrees or disagrees with the lower courts decision, what could happen?
Could this one case change gun laws throughout the country?
Or Congress could make the entire issue moot by passing a law overturning the ban in DC only.
