Apparently, there will be a meeting of the SCOTUS to consider the following on 5/1. I'm sure the "guns are scary" side will not look at the list as what would have the biggest civil rights impact , or correct the biggest injustice. But rather which ones will be likely to have the least impact, or could be twisted to give as little as possible (if not dismiss hearing them all). I'm thinking it might have been a compromise deal struck to get just one justice to go with dismissing the NYC case.

• Mance v. Barr: challenges the federal ban on interstate handgun purchases, first established by the Gun Control Act of 1968. This is especially relevant in DC, where there is only one FFL with limited availability and monopolistic fees.
• Pena v. Horan: challenges the microstamping requirement of California's handgun roster, which is a de facto ban on handguns in common use since they lack a technology that doesn't yet exist.
• Rogers v. Grewal: challenges New Jersey's may-issue requirement that concealed-carry permit applicants show a "justifiable need" for carrying a handgun OTHER THAN self-defense.
• Gould v. Lipson: challenges Massachusetts' may-issue requirement that concealed-carry permit applicants show a "good reason" for carrying a handgun OTHER THAN self-defense.
• Ciolek v. New Jersey: another challenge to New Jersey's may-issue requirement of a "justifiable need". (See Rogers v. Grewal)
• Cheeseman v. Polillo: another challenge to New Jersey's may-issue scheme, but this time arguing the power to decide applications on a case-by-case despite the applicant not being disqualified to bear arms.
• Worman v. Healey: challenges Massachusetts' ban on ownership of "assault weapons". Previous rulings have been shaky and scattered, with one deciding if assault weapons are "like an M-16" and another asserting that only handguns are protected under Heller.
• Malpasso v. Pallozzi: challenges Marylands' may-issue requirement that concealed-carry permit applicants show a "good and substantial reason" for obtaining a permit.
• Culp v. Raoul: challenges Illinois concealed carry law that prohibits non-residents of most states from applying for a permit, regardless of their individual qualifications and training.
• Wilson v. Cook County: challenges the Commissioners of Cook County's power to enact and enforce bans on possession of "assault weapons" and "large-capacity magazines" within the county.

All of these petitions were relisted for the May 15th conference with Beers v. Barr added to the mix. We may know as early as Monday morning the fate of these petitions (but I think it will be a bit longer).
