In the months since the 6-3 conservative majority on the Supreme Court expanded gun possession rights and weakened states’ ability to limit the carrying of guns in public spaces, the high court has identified several cases in need of rehearing in light of the new precedent.

This week, the Supreme Court ordered a lower court in Massachusetts to vacate its ruling on the state’s gun control law and reconsider the case Morin v. Lyver. At issue is a state law imposing a lifetime ban on purchasing handguns on anyone convicted of nonviolent misdemeanors involving the possession or use of guns.
