The Supreme Court denied review for cases challenging assault weapon and magazine bans, specifically Snoke v. Brown and Ocean State Tactical.

The US Supreme Court has again delayed decisions on granting certiorari for major Second Amendment cases, including Snope v. Brown (AR-15 ban) and Ocean State Tactical (magazine ban).

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.

This video discusses the potential for the US Supreme Court to grant certiorari in the Snoke case, which challenges Maryland's ban on AR-15 style semi-automatic rifles. The speaker, Mark Smith, a constitutional attorney and Supreme Court Bar member, analyzes the significance of numerous 'relistings' for the Snoke case and a related First Amendment case, Apache Stronghold.

The Washington State Supreme Court upheld a law banning the sale and distribution of magazines holding more than 10 rounds of ammunition.

This decision sets a precedent that could impact future gun rights interpretations and regulations on firearm accessories.

The video discusses the US Supreme Court's relisting of the Snope v. Brown case, which challenges Maryland's "assault weapon" ban on AR-15 semi-automatic rifles. Relisting a case multiple times, especially 13 times as in Snope, statistically increases the likelihood of the Supreme Court granting cert (certiorari) and hearing the case, or resolving it summarily. This is contrasted with the Ocean State Tactical case, which is considered less likely to be heard due to its interlocutory nature.
