The Supreme Court, as well as the other federal courts, are only empowered to hear cases of actual controversy, not hypothetical situations. That means that an individual would have to file a legal claim that his rights were infringed by a limit of one handgun per month, then find a federal or constitutional infringement based on it.

The Supreme Court in the Heller case allowed for reasonable restrictions. It is highly doubtful that the Supreme Court will find a one gun per month law to be unreasonable at all, let alone so unreasonable as to nullify the law.
