The Supreme Court on Monday declined to take up two key gun rights cases, effectively allowing existing restrictions to remain in place.
One case involved Minnesota’s request to reinstate its ban on issuing gun-carry permits to individuals aged 18 to 20, which a lower court had struck down. The other challenged a University of Michigan policy prohibiting firearms on campus. In both instances, the justices opted not to hear the appeals, and no dissents were recorded.
These decisions suggest the Supreme Court is not eager to wade further into Second Amendment issues, despite the complex legal landscape following its landmark 2022 ruling that expanded gun rights and a 2024 decision upholding a gun law aimed at protecting domestic violence victims. Notably, the Minnesota case attracted attention because both sides urged Supreme Court review, and courts across the U.S. remain divided on whether age-based restrictions on gun rights are constitutional.
