This case only impacts Highland Park for now and a denial of Certorari by SCOTUS doesn't mean its a settled matter, like an actual court decision would be.

They often leave an issue with the appellate courts for a while, until a "better" case comes along with clearer constitutional issues to resolve.

The gun control fans are all excited because it's as close as they've come to an actual pro gun control decision.
