Yes it's good news. Of course there are those (on other gun forums) who somehow see this as a defeat. I guess they don't understand that it takes time to reverse over seventy years of defeats and setbacks. But it looks like the courts are finally recognizing that the 2nd Amendment is actually part of the constitution. That's a huge step. If you had told me in 1999 (post Colombine) that this would be the situation in just eleven years I would have asked to see your Kool - Aid. It's a huge step forward. No the fight is still going and probably will for many decades to come. I expect setbacks, but once the Constitutional Litmus Test has to be applied to laws it changes the political dynamic. It's a good start.
