FWIW, all the analyses I'm seeing point out that this decision takes away the NRA's strongest argument against gun control laws (registration, limits, etc.), the slippery slope. If the Supreme Court says you can't have a total ban, then claiming that limits are just one step on the road to a total ban doesn't work. I think this ruling will end up allowing a lot more gun control laws to be passed.
