Perhaps more importantly, now that the 2A is firmly established as an enumerated, personal right, any attempts to collect fees, require exams, etc should be treated no differently than voting rights ie poll taxes, qualification exams, etc have all consistently been struck down.

Even the gun control advocates seemed to have missed this. Poll taxes are illegal. Any tax on a 'right' makes it into a privilige. Any 'capricious' non granting of a permit is also automatically demolished in this opinion.

Yup. Some of the “bad” news of this decision is that licensing was not demolished by it. But it might as well have been.

Given the choice between granting free licenses and simply not bothering to license, in most cases I expect the latter to prevail.
