Duration: 4:33

The US Supreme Court has denied certiorari in several 'assault weapon' ban cases from Illinois, meaning they will not hear these cases at this time. This decision is attributed to the interlocutory stage of the cases, as they have not yet reached a final judgment. Justice Thomas indicated a willingness to hear such cases if a lower court errs in banning the AR-15, and Justice Alito would have granted certiorari in one of the Illinois cases. The court also issued GVR (Grant, Vacate, and Remand) orders for several 922g cases, including the Range and Daniels cases, sending them back for reconsideration in light of the Rahimi decision.

Frequently Asked Questions

What were the main US Supreme Court decisions regarding Second Amendment cases?
