The decision does say there is now a single test for whether 2A restrictions are legal : Whether there is historical precedent showing it was common to restrict 2A rights in that manner. Also pretty much demands 19th century or earlier...

THAT is huge. I'm not going to presume that it will strike down the 1934 NFA or 1969 GCA, but it makes many other things very hard to restrict. Might strike down the 1986 ban on sales of new machineguns, for example. All to be determined in future cases.

But lower courts now have a strict mandate.. show historical precedent for a restriction that burdens the exercise of a 2A right, or rule it unConstitutional.
