Is this a good move, a bad move, or just ducking the issue?

Also if you did take up either case, which way would you vote?

In the minors case, that's an easy call in favor of the constitutionality of state regulation of the age at which one can acquire guns.  As for interstate gun transfers, that depends on the details of the case which your link doesn't provide enough details to let me decide.

So DC can just pass a law that you have to be 120 to acquire a gun?

No, because that would effectively be a ban.  But requiring one to be 21 to purchase a gun is obviously not a ban.

How about 30?

Possibly, tho it be more likely the court would consider 25 the upper limit on age of majority type decisions as that is the age by which minority trusts would traditionally end or 21 the usual age of majority for many more things in the US.  Since the laws in question here have 21 as the age limit, it's an easy decision.  Anything higher than 21 probably would not see a unanimous decision from SCOTUS in favor of allowing the limit.
