From what I gather the DOJ would like SCOTUS to rule that there is an individual right to keep and bear arms, but restricting that right by outright banning firearms isn’t an infringement.

Michael Bane has been posting updates on it pretty regularly so far:

Two

Three (NRA Response)

Four (Eugene Volokh’s take on the matter. I’m sure it’s worth reading but I haven’t yet.)

Five

Sebastian notes that it’s not a good idea for the Republicans to piss off gun owners.
