Supreme Court vacates and remands remaining 2A cases
Orders list here. I see Assn of NJ Rifle & Pistol v. Bruck (magazine size), Young v. Hawaii (permit to carry), Bianchi v. Frosh (AW ban), and Duncan v. Bonta (magazine size).
This is common when the Supreme Court decides a case in a way that changes the legal standards while other cases are on appeal. Grant the petition, vacate the Circuit court ruling, and remand to them to do it over according to the new standards. Then see if anyone wants to take a second petition from that. Of course, the Circuit may then remand to the trial court, and then the process starts all over.

Seems to me that most important word from GVR is
"grant." My reading tells me that it means
SCOTUS determined that the case presented has merit that they're willing to explore. But 'remand' sends the case back to the lower court, as an instruction to do the work over, using a different decision-making formula.
Well Hopefully The Magazine Ban Challenges are Again Granted Certiorari.
