If this case is submitted to SCOTUS for cert, when is the soonest that itcould actually be granted cert and ruled on?
Are we looking at 1 year, 2 years?

With SCOTUS Passing On Illinois Assault Weapons Ban, What's Next For SAFE Act
By Alex Haight Monday, December 7, 2015
The U.S. Supreme Court declines to hear thousands of cases each year, so in one sense, Monday’s announcement that it wouldn’t take up Friedman v. Highland Park wasn’t much of a surprise. But among the 130 cases the Court declined to grant certiorari on Monday morning, only one elicited a dissent from two justices.
Arie Friedman challenged Highland Park’s assault-weapons ban, which prohibits residents from buying, selling, or owning some types of semiautomatic firearms. The Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the Chicago surburb’s ban by narrowly interpreting the Court’s recent Second Amendment rulings, which focused on handguns.
"We have, I think, five more weeks to apply to Cert for the Supreme Court, and if the case doesn't come down in that time frame, we will apply on our own with Connecticut, Illinois and us,” King said.
King says he doesn't know how long it will take for the Supreme Court to make a decision on whether to hear this case, but he says he believes this plan will make it tough for the Supreme Court to turn them down.
"We're still confident that the Supreme Court is going to take our case," King said.
