Is it now legal to own an assault rifle in Cincinnati, Ohio? Does recent Supreme Court case overrule the city?

I can't find any detailed information on the current situation with assault rifle bans in Cincinnati. I know a recent court case decision by the Ohio Supreme Court overruled certain aspects of city's laws but I wasn't sure what was included in that. Thanks.Is it now legal to own an assault rifle in Cincinnati, Ohio? Does recent Supreme Court case overrule the city?
In Cincinnati you are NOT allowed to have an assault rifle. The recent court decision was to NOT overturn the weapons ban. Although it can't last forever considering the recent DC case and the expiration of the National Assault Weapons Ban. Here is an excerpt from the Buckeye Firearm Association's response to the ruling.





Buckeye Firearms Association announced today that they regret the Ohio Supreme Court’s unanimous decision in the Cincinnati vs. Baskin case, upholding that city’s assault weapon ban. However, the decision was not unexpected and the preemption language in H.B. 347 addresses every one of the Court’s criteria as set forth in the Baskin opinion. The reason the preemption language was changed between the “dash 1” version and the “dash 2” version that ended up passing was in anticipation of this decision.
