The Supreme Court on Monday declined to take up challenges to two state laws regulating guns, leaving in place Maryland’s assault weapons ban and Rhode Island’s 10-round magazine limit. It takes four justices to agree to hear a case. Three of the court’s six far-right justices — Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito and Neil Gorsuch — dissented from both decisions. Justice Brett Kavanaugh indicated the question of assault weapons is poised to return to the court’s docket soon, but said lower courts should first be given more time to rule on the issue.
