The Supreme Court on Monday snubbed three challenges to a federal ban on gun ownership for people convicted of nonviolent crimes — dashing Second Amendment advocates’ hopes the restriction would end.
Instead, the high court let stand a series of lower court rulings prohibiting people convicted of driving under the influence, making false statements on tax returns, and selling counterfeit cassette tapes from owning a gun, USA Today reported.
The decisions came without comment, and the news outlet noted it was the latest in a series of instances in which the high court skirted Second Amendment questions.
The Supreme Court also took no action Monday on another pending Second Amendment question, USA Today reported — whether the Constitution guarantees the right to carry a gun in public places. In that case, two New York State residents wanted a license to carry guns outside their home but were denied because they didn’t meet the state’s requirement of having a “special need for self protection.”
The court is expected to decide whether to take or reject that case later this year, the news outlet reported.
The last major gun rights rulings by the high court were in in 2008 and 2010, when handgun restrictions were struck down in the District of Columbia and Chicago.
According to USA Today, four conservative justices, in recent dissents, have signaled a desire to address outstanding Second Amendment questions.

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
