Monday brought new developments from the United States Supreme Court as the justices released their latest orders list, revealing decisions on several high-profile Second Amendment cases. While some outcomes were disappointing, others remain very much alive and could still shape the future of gun rights nationwide.

Two important cases were officially denied certiorari. The first, Perez v. United States, asked whether the Second Amendment presumptively protects the right to acquire firearms. The second, Mares v. Massachusetts, involved interstate travel with firearms. Their denial means the Court declined to directly address those questions at this time.

However, there is still reason for cautious optimism. Three major cases—Duncan v. Bont (California’s magazine ban), Gators Customs Guns v. Washington (Washington’s magazine ban), and Vera Montes v. Cook County (Illinois’ rifle ban)—were not denied. Instead, all three were rescheduled for conference again, now set for later this week. While repeated rescheduling can be frustrating, it also means the Court has not closed the door.

Adding to the significance of this moment, a new case has entered the spotlight. NAGR v. Lamont, out of Connecticut, has officially received its first Supreme Court conference date. This case challenges both rifle bans and magazine bans simultaneously, and if accepted, it could have sweeping nationwide implications.

For now, the Supreme Court continues to deliberate, leaving several of the most consequential Second Amendment cases in limbo. While two petitions were denied, the survival of multiple magazine and rifle ban challenges keeps hope alive. As always, developments at the Court can move quickly, and these upcoming conferences could prove pivotal for the future of the Second Amendment.
