Reading further on the issue and there is still more work to be done...

 
The court's final judgement says it applies to: "the plaintiffs and, where applicable, the plaintiffs’ agencies, political subdivisions, members, and customers—both current and future."

I asked Grok to list all the plaintiffs:

Silencer Shop Foundation;
Gun Owners of America, Inc.;
Firearms Regulatory Accountability Coalition, Inc.;
B&T USA, LLC;
Palmetto State Armory, LLC;
SilencerCo Weapons Research, LLC (d/b/a SilencerCo);
Gun Owners Foundation;
the States of Texas, Alaska, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Montana, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Utah, West Virginia, and Wyoming.

So, I guess I'm covered as a resident of Texas, but best to become a member of GOA and buy from Palmetto State Armory (and keep the receipt!) I guess.
 
Notice how in stuff like this the rulings are limited as to who they apply to.
.....but if it's something that serves to destroy the nations founding principles and/or our Rights, it's always nation wide.
 
The court explained why the ruling was limited - basically SCOTUS said they don't have the authority to issue a broader ruling. If it gets appealed to a higher court, I suppose that could change. From the memorandum:
 
I know, there's always an excuse.

It's just funny how it always seems to work the way I described.
