Supreme Court passes on Second Amendment cases challenging lifetime gun ownership ban
The Supreme Court on Monday declined to take up three challenges to a federal ban on gun ownership for people convicted of nonviolent crimes, disappointing Second Amendment advocates who hoped a more conservative court would begin to chip away at the restriction.
By not taking the appeals, the nation's highest court let stand a series of lower court rulings that prohibited people convicted of driving under the influence, making false statements on tax returns and selling counterfeit cassette tapes from owning a gun.
The decisions Monday, which were handed down without explanation, are the latest in a series of instances in which the Supreme Court has skirted Second Amendment questions. The high court last issued major guns rights rulings in 2008 and 2010, cases that struck down handgun restrictions in the District of Columbia and Chicago.

One can only conclude that conviction for these offenses could also lead to forfeiture of Freedom of Expression, the right Peaceably to Assemble, Freedom of Religion, suffrage, and equal protection under the 14th Amendment.

The SCOTUS is worthless as well as the DOJ and most members of Congress.

This is why I have zero belief the SCOTUS will step in when Biden outlaws modern sporting rifles and all of the other stuff he's got waiting in the wings.
The 2nd will be effectively gutted and the 9 black robes will remain silent and let it happen.
