It's more of an opening for cities and counties to restrict some gun ownership.

The SCOTUS has been more willing to give latitude the more local the government is For example, the courts forced Illinois as a whole to loosen up the statewide restrictions and Illinois was given a deadline to comply.

Whereas, in this case, a city government was given much broader latitude when compared to what the courts gave the state in which that municipality is located.
