DC itself won't take the law to the Supreme Court. Citizens of DC will take it to the Supreme Court. This law is going to get challenged right away by citizens of DC who think it goes too far; and then the case will work its way up the chain: district court to appellate court to the Supreme Court (if it takes it).
The Supreme Court is going to be very busy in the next decades with 2nd Amenmdnet cases that's for sure as all sorts of laws are challenged and the Court begins to define the right it recognized for the first time in Heller.
