He made it very clear that he was only talking about home storage, not any sort of carrying, and that basically our entire wishlist (AWB, background checks, registration, etc.) was Constitutionally permissible. That was honestly one of my main worries at the time about DC's maximalist position: when you talk about an absolute 100% ownership ban, there's really not that much support for it nationwide even among pro-gun-control people. But, yeah: everybody knows Scalia was just doing that to avoid being called a lunatic, and everybody knew the next cases would chip away at whatever regulations (even if Scalia specifically called them out as permissible) states have.
