It takes forever for the people to accrue gun rights via litigation.
If you look at Chicago, yes litigation is necesary because the mayor at the time and the city council made it clear that they weren't going to allow guns in the city - no matter what the misguided judges in the Supreme Court might think. There would be no remedy via legislation - period. So yes basically the only way for people in Chicago to be able to exercise RTKBA is to plead their case to the courts.
But look how long it is taking.
I don't see litigation as being the total answer because I think courts are going to be reticent to strip states of their power. So there will be states like Maryland, and New Jersey where they have their own brand of gun laws and there will be places like Alaska and Arizona where they have their particular brand of gun laws. I don't see the courts picking apart MD and NJ gun regulations statute by statute to the point where those states finally resemble AZ. The only way that a state moves from being like NJ to being like AZ is via state legislation.
