The way I understand it is that they are saying yes it's an individual right that can be regulated at the federal state and local level. Doesn't seem like a victory for the right to bear arms imo.

Sounds like a ticket for regulating the guns out of everyone's hand slowly over time. The supreme court looks like it's taking the easy middle, vague, road again.
