Not feeling very masterly, from what I gather from comments on Newsmax.
High Court Punts on 2nd Amendment Cases Challenging Lifetime Ban on Owning Guns
The Supreme Court on Monday opted not to take up three challenges to a federal ban on gun ownership for people who've been convicted of nonviolent crimes.
The decision reinforced the apparent inclination by the court to skirt Second Amendment questions. But it also surprised and dismayed some gun advocates who'd hoped the court would whittle away at the lifetime limitation.
As reported by USA Today, the court's sidestepping the issue let stand a series of lower court rulings that prohibited people convicted of an array of nonviolent offenses -- driving under the influence, making false statements on tax returns, selling counterfeit cassette tapes -- from owning a firearm.
The decisions Monday were handed down without explanation.

Comments from the peanut gallery. Nothing seems to be going right for them this year.
"The lack of backbone among our nation's highest court is explained by the premise that the Justices are totally intimidated by today's left. The people in black robes also fear for the safety their families now. America isn't what it used to be by any means."
"These are the wimps of our times. They are afraid and intimidated by the left just like corporations and most republican members of congress.
When they destroy our nation they will be asking "what happened"?"
"Supreme court judges have already proven to be dung, they have proven themselves as traitors to our country, don't much matter what they say they or no one else will take our guns without lots of bloodshed."
"My gosh, the left does not have to worry about court packing. Conservatives have not had a win in SCOTUS since before the election! The 3 Trump appointees are cowards! "
"the Left tries to tell us that the Court is 7 - 2 conservative and out of balance ...... in reality the Court is 7 -2 left marxist ..... Trump's 3 woke appointments have evolved into commies , in other words , they've grown ! We can only count on Thomas and Alito . Justice Scalia must be spinning in his grave at seeing what SCOTUS has become !"
