A per curiam opinion has the same force of law and precedent as any other. In Caetano, for example, Massachusetts SJC gave 3 rationalizations on why stun guns weren't covered, all of which had been explicitly refuted in Heller. So the Justices felt there was no significant issue of fact or law and the case could be dealt with summarily.

Given Alito's concurrence in Bruen, I would be very surprised if the Court went that route with Snope.
