We warned in Heller that “[a] constitutional guarantee
subject to future judges’ assessments of its usefulness is
no constitutional guarantee at all.” 554 U. S., at 634. The
Court of Appeals in this case recognized that San Francisco’s

the importance of the constitutional right at stake and the
questionable nature of the Court of Appeals’ judgment, I
would have granted a writ of certiorari.
