It is regarding registration of guns in Washington DC and was very recent.
If it can be done in Washington DC, it can be done elsewhere in the USA. 
The gun ownership I was talking about was for seniors over 80 years old and that an annual vision and skills test be given. If they pass it - fine. Same for driving. You cannot argue against that reasonably. I also said I do not expect it to happen so sarcasm is not necessary. |
The ruling you reference is at the lowest court level in DC. As the article says, it will be appealed. The lower court rulings in DC regarding firearms have a history of being overturned at higher levels.
A few years ago the Supreme Court overturned a DC law that was an outright ban on owning handguns.
Well-meaning, but misguided, legislatures continue to pass unconstitutional firearms laws. It often takes years for them to work their way through the courts and get overturned.
The Second Amendment continues to be the law of the land.
