The Court has now distributed the outstanding gun cases for its May 15 conference. That means we have 11 Second Amendment cases being discussed this Friday. We could hear next Monday morning, when the Court releases its order list, if the justices are inclined to take up one or more of these cases. There’s no date by which they need to decide, however, so it’s possible that they relist these cases to be discussed again at later conferences. It’s a waiting game now.
