I suspect, however, that the dicta was necessary to get Kennedy to sign on, and he was crucial. Of course, we'll probably never know for sure. In any case, I seriously doubt that we could expect all gun control fall, and the dicta probably does no more than describe the sort of gun control that would ultimately survive even strict scrutiny.
