I think they'll probably render the decision that an individual in good standing (ie, not a violent felon, mentally ill person, etc.) must legally be allowed to acquire a weapon of their choosing. The steps to take possession of the weapon must be reasonable and not discriminate against classes of people nor cause a delay in the ability of the person to obtain the weapon in a reasonable amount of time (probably 24-72 hours or whatever an NICS delay is). Registration could possibly be green-lighted provided that you can register ANY weapon you want, it doesn't cause an "unreasonable" delay, and there is no "unreasonable" cost associated with it. IOW, I could get easily get a semi-auto AK-47 in NYC, BUT I may have to register it with NYPD. The registration however, must take no longer than 24-72 hours and it wouldn't cost anywhere near the $300+ it costs to register a weapon in NYC today. Ideal? Hell no. But it is still better than it is in NYC today. It basically would give politicians the ability to look like they were doing something to fight crime. And they could always pour more tax dollars into police over-seeing the registry or some garbage like that. We'd still get our guns. Then we could always fight registration in a later court case.
