Although the ruling has no immediate effect on any local gun laws, some national legal experts predict a new wave of challenges to determine what limits can be placed on guns, including assault weapons, or on the use of guns beyond the defense of home and family.

“Today’s ruling recognizes that gun ownership, like the freedom of speech or the right to freely assemble, is a fundamental right,” Allard said.
