If and when the Supreme Court- or even the 9th Circuit revisits the issue, they may well find the justification of keeping gun out of the hands of kids (or from being stolen) to be more than a compelling enough state interest to outweigh any right conferred in Heller.

And this is interesting, because we don't have a standard of review- only some vague dicta that suggests that the rational basis standard might not be enough (for 5 justices). Moreover, the core facts in Heller involved an outright ban. One can easily see the court leaving that in place, while upholding San Fransisco's regulations.
