The U.S. Supreme Court refused to hear its first Second Amendment case of the 2020 term — and the second case of its kind this year.

The high court began its 2020 term on Monday and did not offer any comment when it declined to hear Zoie H. v. Nebraska, a case that challenged the state’s denial of gun rights without the right to a jury trial.

Nebraska’s Supreme Court had upheld the state’s law, which lawmakers amended to bar young adults from possessing a gun until age 25 if convicted of specific crimes as a juvenile, and regardless of whether those individuals received a jury trial.

“The constitutional problem here is that the state seeks to impose restrictions—indeed, prohibit petitioner from exercising her Second Amendment rights at all—for six years after petitioner becomes an adult,” the petition to the Supreme Court argued.  “The state insisted on depriving her of her Second Amendment rights well into adulthood via a bench trial.”

The Nebraska law permits individuals who are denied gun rights to petition a court for reinstatement upon reaching age 19.
