The Court considered the ten pending Second Amendment cases at its conference last Friday, but we did not get any more clarity this morning when it released the orders from that conference. It did not act on any of the pending petitions, instead holding them over to consider at another conference. We’ve also got one more to add to the ready-for-conference list: Beers v. Barr, challenging the mental illness firearm prohibitor, is scheduled for the May 15 conference.
