This is a huge victory. New York State Rifle & Pistol Association Inc. v. Bruen.
This case asks the Supreme Court to determine whether New York’s discretionary gun permit law, which requires an applicant demonstrate “proper cause” to carry a weapon for self-defense purposes, violates the Second Amendment. Robert Nash and Brandon Koch applied for a general concealed carry permit under New York law, but their applications were denied by Richard McNally for lack of proper cause.
This will change a lot of laws.
Thomas Opinion.
Held: New York’s proper-cause requirement violates the Fourteenth Amendment by preventing law-abiding citizens with ordinary self-defense needs from exercising their Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms in public for self-defense.

Hopefully the next 2nd Amendment case pertains to so-called "Assault Weapons" AND "High Capacity Magazines" and not just one or the other as the two go hand in hand. When one bans assault weapons they almost always also ban high capacity magazines.
