The Supreme Court did not agree to hear a significant Second Amendment case challenging the semi-automatic rifle bans in Maryland, California, and eight other states. Despite advocacy from gun rights supporters claiming these weapons are constitutionally protected, the court remained closely divided. Three conservative justices backed hearing the appeal, but Justice Kavanaugh chose not to cast the crucial fourth vote. Kavanaugh expressed concerns about the lower court's ruling but ultimately aligned with the majority, indicating ongoing caution regarding state laws governing firearms restrictions.
