For a large portion of my childhood my father was a licensed gun dealer and an NRA member. Because of that I was very familiar with the rhetoric surrounding the gun control debate. As I've grown older I've started to understand the points that many in the gun control movement are trying to make - I disagree with them, but I can understand their point. The biggest rub for this debate has been what exactly the second amendment meant by the right to bear arms. It seems that SCOTUS is going to let us know - at least in part - when they hear the arguments for and against the Washington DC gun control law - one of the tightest in the country.
Given that the court is at the moment rather conservative, I wouldn't be surprised to see this come out against the gun control law - or at least parts of the law. But I also think that there will still be a good deal of wiggle room left from their opinions for the gun control lobby to get some things passed and get the NRA quite upset.
