The Supreme Court Refuses to Hear ‘Assaunt Weapons’ Cases

The U.S. Supreme Court has denied Cert to hear two falsely labeled “assault weapons” cases.

These cases are perhaps the most monumental in American history. While gun owners know these bans violate the Second Amendment, the courts have always been hostile to gun owners in general.

Will these bans be undone at the highest level? We have our doubts, but if it is going to happen, it needs to happen now.

One of the cases, which originates from Maryland, is being brought by the Second Amendment Foundation. The SAF posted on X about the denial, saying,

“The Supreme Court has denied SAF’s Petition for Cert in Snope v Brown, our challenge to the Maryland Assault Weapons Ban. Justice Thomas wrote a lengthy dissent from the denial, and was joined in his position that cert should have been granted by Justices Alito and Gorsuch. Justice Kavanaugh wrote his own separate statement respecting the cert denial. As we read through the statements more details will be forthcoming.”

The other case, from Rhode Island, involved a challenge to a ban on magazine capacity.

While the denial is frustrating, other cases are expected to also request the Supreme Court’s intervention. Justice Brett Kavanaugh said the following, which should give gun owners some hope that these unconstitutional laws will be overturned:

“Additional petitions for certiorari will likely be before this Court shortly and, in my view, this court should and will presumably will address the AR-15 issue soon, in the next Term or two.”

These cases need to happen before Trump leaves office and/or before some of the more conservative Justices are no longer serving.
