Frequently Asked Questions

What was the status of magazine ban cases on the Supreme Court's December 15th Orders List?

On December 15th, the Supreme Court's Orders List did not include decisions on key magazine ban cases like Duncan v. Bonta and Gator's Custom Guns v. Washington. This means these cases have been deferred for further consideration, effectively being kicked down the road without a ruling.

Were any assault weapon ban cases decided by the Supreme Court on December 15th?

No, the Supreme Court's December 15th Orders List did not feature any decisions on assault weapon ban cases. The Illinois case Viriamontes v. Cook County, for instance, was not listed and is expected to be grouped with other similar cases for a future calendar.

Which Second Amendment-related cases were denied review by the Supreme Court on December 15th?

The Supreme Court denied review for several Second Amendment cases, including Gustafson v. Springfield, Inc. (regarding PLCAA application) and Robinson v. United States (challenging the NFA's taxing power). Additionally, Rush v. United States (NFA regulation of SBRs) and Meyer v. United States (right to purchase a firearm) were also denied review.

What is the significance of the 72 challenges to 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1) not being on the Supreme Court's Orders List?

The absence of 72 challenges to 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1) (felon in possession), including Duarte, from the December 15th Orders List indicates they are also being postponed. Experts predict these cases may be consolidated and addressed in a future 'GVR avalanche' after the Rahimi ruling.
