The fact is, both the democrat and republican parties server their true constituency: The Federal Government.

A blanket ruling here would be a huge blow to government power as a whole. Affirming a right of the people, without burden of repressive regulation, sets a precedent that the government does not want set.

From a purely practical standpoint, the DOJ knows, that based on such a ruling, they would have to fight an appeal on every single possession only gun charge since the dawn of time; and most of the “unlawfully modified” and “unregistered” charges. Yeah, most of them would be tossed out, but it would be expensive and time consuming.

If the court instead delivers a limited ruling, it would leave out most of these grounds for appeal.

It would also, of course, preserve a lot of jobs for federal agents (not just the ATF).
