SCOTUS Snubs Gun Rights Cases...Again

Published on May 4, 2020
Duration: 5:26

The Supreme Court has again declined to hear multiple Second Amendment cases, despite Justice Kavanaugh's previous statements indicating a need to address such issues. Ten cases concerning gun rights, including concealed carry permits and bans related to mental health history, were considered but none advanced past the conference stage. These cases will be re-evaluated on May 14th, with a low probability of selection if not chosen then, effectively sidestepping Second Amendment challenges.

Quick Summary

The Supreme Court has again declined to hear ten Second Amendment cases, failing to secure the necessary four votes for review. These cases, addressing concealed carry and mental health gun bans, will be re-evaluated on May 14th, with a low probability of selection if not chosen then.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why did the Supreme Court not hear Second Amendment cases?

The Supreme Court declined to hear ten Second Amendment cases because, in conference, fewer than the required four justices agreed to take them up. This effectively means the court is sidestepping these legal challenges to gun rights for now.

What is the significance of the May 14th conference date?

The ten Second Amendment cases that were not heard will be re-evaluated on May 14th. If they still fail to garner four votes to be heard at that time, their chances of being selected for review in a subsequent conference become extremely low.

What types of Second Amendment cases were presented to the Supreme Court?

The cases presented to the Supreme Court covered critical aspects of Second Amendment rights, including the legality of shall-issue versus may-issue concealed carry permits, the ability to purchase firearms across state lines, and the prohibition of gun ownership for individuals with a history of involuntary mental health treatment.

What is the speaker's view on Justice Kavanaugh's role?

The speaker expresses disappointment with Justice Brett Kavanaugh, believing he sided with liberal justices to allow the court to be manipulated into not ruling on important Second Amendment cases, despite his prior statements suggesting a need to address such issues.
