McDonald's "reasoning" followed Nordyke's misapplication of Heller to the states. What's different?

Something, evidently...

The Ninth Circuit voted to re-hear the case en banc (that is, all eleven judges would review the decision of the three-judge panel), but in light of McDonald, that order has been rescinded and the case remanded to the original panel for reconsideration. Rescinding an en banc re-hearing is an unusual turn of events, but nothing follows the norm in this suit. The panel has asked for further briefing from the parties, indicating that it may reverse itself on the constitutionality of the gun-show ban.

The speculative, new and as yet unrevealed emanation of a penumbra is under construction, sans a blueprint.
