My interpretation is that we do not have 5 Justices willing to write an opinion clarifying that legislative firearms' restrictions
will be analyzed through the lens of strict scrutiny. Sad. In fact, the opposite might be the case--there are five Justices willing
to uphold these restrictions through lesser standards but they cannot agree on what those lesser standards should be so cert. was denied. Scary stuff.

Considering Chief Justice Roberts recent decisions, I'd say your interpretation is spot on. There is the possibility that 2 new justices will be appointed by our next C-I-C, and I'm certainly praying that it will be the Swamp Fox! AKA Donald Trump. ;-)
