"WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Supreme Court for a second straight year refused on Monday to hear a challenge to California's limits on carrying handguns in public, dealing another setback to gun rights proponents.The court's action underscored its continued reluctance to step into a national debate over gun control roiled by a series of mass shootings including the one at a Pittsburgh synagogue that killed 11 people on Oct. 27. It has not taken up a major gun case since 2010.








The justices, declining to hear an appeal by two gun owners, on Monday left in place a November 2017 ruling by the San Francisco-based 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upholding California's restrictions."

These guys better get the heck off their duffs and get to work.

From what I've heard, there were issues with the case, at least one of the petitioners has since received a concealed carry permit, which means he has no standing in the case... (note: not a lawyer, so I might be using the wrong terms here).

From the actual supreme court records:



The petitions for writs of certiorari are denied.

Justice Thomas, Justice Alito, and Justice Gorsuch would grant the petitions, vacate the judgment of the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, and remand to that court with instructions to dismiss the cases as moot. See United States v. Munsingwear, Inc., 340 U. S. 36 (1950).

The Chief Justice and Justice Kavanaugh took no part in the consideration or decision of these petitions.
