I've written about the DC gun ban now before the US Supremes. What I didn't know at the time was that many of those backing the plaintiffs are gay organizations (love the name: Pink Pistols), not just the NRA. The reason is that if gays are going to continue to be on the wrong end of hate crimes which are frequently deadly they want to be able to defend themselves. There is a broad range of possible gun laws from no one is allowed to own any kind of gun to everyone is allowed to own a shoulder-launched missile. Most people agree that personal missiles are too much. But what is appropriate? The Supremes could leave the boundary murky by saying that the DC law isn't where the line should be drawn and you have to craft another law and ask again before we tell you more.
