It's not a state rights issue. The way states rights is SUPPOSED to work is that they can legislate on anything not specifically allocated to the federal government, as per the 10th amendment. In this case, the INDIVIDUAL RIGHT to keep and BEAR arms allocates that a protected status that the states will now be unable to legislate on without a constitutional amendment, one that will never find enough support to pass.
I'm going to read the opinion later to find out the specifics, but from what I've read so far this is really going to change everything as it pertains to gun ownership and carry laws in the US.
