Hallelujah.
This will prove in time to be a ruling on par with Heller.

"9-0" sounds like a big deal (and this was a great result), but 9-0 decisions are very common.
Not really. As pointed out, this is a 4A case, not a 2A case. Heller is a 2A case.
Additionally, just be because I see peoples' minds going this way and I want to preempt it: this case has zero impact on red flag laws. Red flag laws utilize a court process to issue a warrant, which would satisfy the conditions of Caniglia.

I would like to think this is a shot across any idea of red flag laws......
However, a quick search makes it look like Rhode Island, is a shared property state. So they will work around it by getting permission of his wife to enter and take property.
Please see above.
ETA: For anyone thinking this is a 2A case, all of the opinions clearly frame it as a 4th Amendment intrusion. In addition, the 2nd Amendment isn't referenced once in any of the opinions.
Further, just to drive home that this has zero impact on Red Flag laws, don't take it from me. Take it from the SCOTUS:

Nevertheless, Harrumph to the SCOTUS for affirming that
“The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects,[a] against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated...”

Surprising decent job by the supremes.
