Haven't read the full opinion yet, just got snippets from it sent to me from another lawyer friend.
This is not a narrow ruling. It blows up the standards of review that the courts were using. Thomas rejects both intermediate and strict scrutiny and sets the standard as text, history, and tradition. The benefits of the law can not be considered. This doesn't just blow up NY's law, this could blow up many, many gun laws. I'll read through the decision later today.
