A US Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit case, We the Patriots v. Michelle Lujan Grisham, challenged New Mexico Governor Grisham's executive orders banning guns in public parks and playgrounds.

However, the speaker argues that due to the political leanings of judges in states enacting these bans, a circuit split on semi-automatic rifle bans is unlikely, potentially preventing the Supreme Court from hearing such cases. Despite this, historical examples suggest the Court may still take up significant cases even without a split.
