If they merely say that the law, as applied to non-violent felons, doesn't survive intermediate scrutiny, not very much, unless they also lay out a standard that requires far less deference to legislatures with respect to the "fit" between the regulation and the interest.
Does it seem likely that the Court would grant cert only to decide narrowly? Why not simply let the decision below stand?
Additionally, does it seem to anybody else that this might impact Peruta? If minor gun violations are not disqualifying, how can (for example) non-licensed carry disqualify a person from gun ownership?
