This also kills registration and licensing, since the case can now be made that it sets up a ban. Yes, but no. It should kill registration and licensing because no right requires a license (permission) from the government. You can say what you want, print newspapers as you see fit, not talk to prosecutors or refuse to testify without a permit... so why do you need a permit to exercize the 2nd Amendment.

What they should do is set up a new system of gun purchasing whereby your fingerprint is scanned (but not saved) and checked against a database of felons. If there is no match, you can buy the weapon. If there is a match, it means you are a felon and you cannot buy it.

I would like to see some rapid changes in gun laws across the country; but, unfortunately, it is going to take a new round of lawsuits (and a whole lot of money) and about 10 years to see if anything really good will evove from this case.
