I urge everyone to read the actual decision by the 9th Circuit. Essentially, the court rewrote the Second Amendment.

It now reads:

The Federal Government shall not prevent the states from forming state militias and arming them, but no individual has a right to possess or own weapons.

The problem is, in terms of the 2'nd Amendment being binding on the states, that's a perfectly valid and supportable interpretation. The courts have never found the 2'nd to apply to the states, and the only way they can do so is to incorporate it via the 14'th. But to accept the results of that is to implicitly accept the 14'th as valid and proper.
