Colossal. Earth-shaking.

Use whatever epochal language you like, but this is a big one:

The Federal appeals court for the D.C. Circuit just struck down the District of Columbia's gun ban on Second Amendment grounds.

Watch this one--as the Volokh Report notes here, the political implications are wide-ranging.

This is a story to follow, folks.
