Last I checked, they were different statutes (and different forms) controlling the process (not to mention different standards to qualify). I didn’t realize it was the same system.

Any delay on those grounds is unconscionable and, one would hope, will be punished with a contempt of court charge.

Heck, I wouldn't be surprised if we won 7-2 (or if it was at least 5 for us with two concurring in the judgment) One more thing – don’t discount Ginsberg or Kennedy on this.

Its more of a PR thing though than anything substantive. They lost over the ban on accepting new handgun registrations. They have to allow people to register guns, but since they don't have a system in place to do so, they first need to develop that system which is going to take some time (and boy, theres gonna be some fights over that too). So, yes, while he says he is still enforcing the law its sort of a meaningless threat since all it means is you still can't register guns. If the plaintiff's want to force the issue, I suppose they could then file a petition with the DC Superior Court forcing the registration, but frankly I doubt that would be heard in an expidited fashion by the court and so your probably looking at the same time frame (realisticaly) as it would take to see if the DC Circuit was going to reverse en banc. Regarding the movement of guns in the home - I don't know. he could be enforcing it, but I sort of doubt it since as it stands right now its 100% impossible to secure a conviction based on someone carrying a gun from one room to another (or assembling their shotgun inside their home) and that if they actually did arrest someone for doing this they would have a pretty embarassing 1983 action filed against them (<a href="http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/html/uscode42/usc_sec_42_00001983----000-.html" rel="nofollow">42 USC 1983</a>, civil action for deprevation of rights) From what I gather, it hasn’t been stayed but they are continuing to enforce the ban.

It's the reason I'm assuming it's been stayed, but that's not proof. We all know what happens when a mayor like Ray Nagen defies a court order. He gets slapped with having to pay a few thousand dollars out of the city's general fund. I hear that works great as a deterrent too. Yea, I did see that.
