No, the law that was struck down was the federal ban on purchasing a handgun out of state. Current federal law requires that a handgun purchased out of state must be transferred to an FFL in the purchaser's state for transfer.

If the ruling stands, it will now be legal to purchase a handgun outside of your home state from an FFL.

After reading the ruling, long gun purchase face-to-face out of state was not at issue. What was at issue is a couple from Washington, D.C. attempting to purchase a handgun from an FFL dealer in Texas, and the only way the couple could take possession of the firearm was to have it transferred to the one and only FFL dealer in Washington, D.C. who wanted to charge $125 per gun for the transfer.

This ruling would just bring the laws regarding handguns in line with the existing laws regarding long guns.
