I think the difficulty in each of these cases is going to be finding a case which will make it to the SCOTUS for a decision.
Assuming a case arises in which the party(s) on the offensive against each of these scenarios actually makes it through the maze of restrictions to SCOTUS...
1. AWB..since AR15 in particular are commonly used in both rifle competitions and by law enforcement, I believe certain parts of any AWB could be struck down on grounds that they are in fact in common use for lawful purposes.
2. I agree that CCW and open carry prohibitions at the state level would be constitutional. I question whether 'may issue' is constitutional without very specific criteria but this from an equal protection standpoint and not so much 2nd.
3. Registration constitutional as long as the wait and the fees are not an attempt to deny the right. For instance NY taking 18 months and charging $500+, I believe that could be ruled a 'poll tax' used to deny the right based on economic conditions.
Just my $.02
