Well, It doesn't look all that good. Gura's Privileges and immunities argument seems to be a dead letter. The black-robed nine aren't going to overrule Slaughterhouse even though they, everyone, know that the case was wrongly decided. The analysis of the arguments remind me of the SCOTUS's irrelevant comments during the Heller arguments about Miller.
The SCOTUS is likely to go with the due process clause and allow states and local governments to continue thumbing their collective noses at the 2nd Amendment just as DC has done since Heller.
Governments can kill and/or imprison anybody they want to as long as they use due process and reasonable restrictions.
I've had quite a number of federal inmates I come into contact with on a day-to-day basis say to me that the feds have told them, "We're the federal government and we can do anything to you we want."
