Article on Parker in Legal Times

Parker attorney Bob Levy has published a concise article on the case in the Legal Times: here's a pdf of it.
That's a compelling summary of the case; thanks for posting it.
If I may, let me ask a more general question:
Let's say that the SC agrees with us, and declares that the Second means what it says: "shall not be infringed". What would the scope of their decision be?
Would that abolish all federal gun laws at a stroke? All state and local laws? Does it shut down the F& E divisions of BATFE? Or does each individual law and regulation have to be fought down in separate cases?
What happens to people who are imprisoned solely under D.C.'s gun laws?
Has it ever happened before that an entire class of well-established laws has been overturned as unconstitutional?
