Another piece of intel on Parker:
Just now I heard DC's mayor, interviewed on the local NPR show for the last hour, say the following re: the Parker decision:
1) he represents DC, and "the community" wants him to appeal
2) it would be bad precedent for the circuit court decision "that makes no sense" to stand without challenge in the US
3) there may be a risk to NYC and Chicago, Boston, etc. laws if a pro-2A ruling happens at USSC, but "he has to do what's best for DC"
4) BUT he said he was still weighing the options, and should be announcing a final decision on what DC is doing in the next few weeks.
The discussion was in the last ten minutes of the KoJo Nnamdi show, linked here:

However, the archive won't be up until around 2pm EST.
