No, the court of appeals is saying two things:

1. Certain enumerated rights apply to undocumented aliens.
   
   
2. Prohibiting possession of guns or ammunition to undocumented aliens is a permissible regulation of the rights protected by the Second Amendment.

Note that limited regulations of constitutionally protected rights have been found by the courts to be permissible under some circumstances.
