I think it is a stretch to suggest that efforts to legisalte restrictions on AW, certain types of ammo, and to add more rigerous registraton and filtering disciplines will be challanged. In both instance, the votes for the majority were 5-4, and each majority opinion contained differing views on elements of the law. What is lacking is he polictical will on the part of our coward legislators.

I have a feeling we'll find this out experimentally.

What is interesting however is that the SCOTUS rulings have had very little effect on local gun control efforts in places like, well NYC for instance.
Yet. There are cases challenging NYS gun control laws percolating up the judicial food chain. It might take a few year for one to get to the SCOTUS.

In terms of how this could have prevented before hand, you have a case where an individual purchased a great deal of assault and other automatic weapons, tactical riot gear including a bullet proof vest, tear gas, and many, many rounds of ammo in a very short period over the internet with no backgound check, registration, or requirements by the sellers to report to these large purchases to law enforcement, despite the high volume and nature of what was purchased. What do you think? Let's say that there was some sort of tracking for this, and the Aurora PD got an email at some point before the attack, with just that information. What are they going to do about it? None of the stuff is illegal. The purchaser didn't do anything illegal. Also, if they were getting this information, I'm sure this guy would be far from the only one that would get on the radar. So what action would they take, considering no laws had been broken?
