The extended 'relist' period for these cases, exceeding 14 conferences, suggests a potential shift from the statistically likely outcome of denial with dissent. This prolonged deliberation, drawing parallels to the DOS decision's lengthy review process, indicates internal court discussions or negotiations regarding how to address these significant Second Amendment challenges and potentially shape future gun rights jurisprudence.
