The Supreme Court denied certiorari in two key cases, Snope and Ocean State, concerning firearms bans. Justice Kavanaugh's denial statement argued that AR-15s are in common use for lawful purposes and thus protected by the Second Amendment, suggesting lower courts erred. Justice Thomas's dissent strongly criticized the denial, asserting that the Second Amendment would become a 'second-class right' if such cases are not heard, and that AR-15s clearly fall under the 'arms' protected by the amendment.
The Supreme Court is facing a looming deadline for the current session regarding two significant Second Amendment cases: Snope v. Brown (concerning 'assault weapon' bans) and Ocean State (addressing magazine capacity limits). These cases have been repeatedly rescheduled for conference, with a new date set for Thursday, May 15th. A decision on whether to accept or deny these cases is expected soon, as the Court's summer recess begins at the end of June, after which any unaccepted cases are effectively denied.
This video discusses recent developments in Second Amendment cases before the Supreme Court. While "Snope" and "Ocean State" cases were reconferenced, "Worth v. Jacobson" resulted in a win as the Supreme Court denied certiorari, allowing the Eighth Circuit's ruling that 18-20 year olds have the right to carry to stand. The "Duncan" decision regarding California's MAG ban is also highlighted as a potential factor influencing future Supreme Court decisions.
This video discusses upcoming Supreme Court decisions regarding gun rights, specifically focusing on magazine ban cases. The speaker highlights that while the court is off for Good Friday, they conferred on the Snope and Ocean State cases. A key development is the Ninth Circuit's decision in Duncan v. Bonta, another magazine ban case, which is expected to go to the Supreme Court and could influence the Ocean State case's acceptance. The speaker anticipates significant news on Monday and urges viewers to subscribe for updates.
