This is the Supremes VACATING previous pro-gun-control decisions and sending them back for further consideration in light of their new decision. The issues sent back include magazine limits, assault rifle bans, and other stuff.

It will be interesting to see if the lower courts continue their willful obstruction of the second amendment in light of this.

I think we will get a bunch of good new pro-gun decisions out of this. The downside is that a decision in one circuit that goes pro-gun is not binding in other circuits. So, for example, in my state, CO, the state supreme court will just ignore anything pro-gun that they don’t absolutely have no choice but to follow and even then, they will try to figure out how to obstruct actual implementation.

They aren't vacated. These are cases that had been submitted to the Supreme Court and were waiting to be accepted or not. The Court sent them back down to the Circuit courts to be reconsidered, taking into account the new ruling in Bruen. The Circuit court decisions are still in force.

These are federal cases. A state Supreme Court will not be ruling on them.
