WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Supreme Court on Monday declined to wade into the politically volatile issue of gun control by leaving intact three court rulings rejecting challenges to federal and state laws.

The court's decision not to hear the cases represented a loss for gun rights advocates, including the National Rifle Association, which was behind two of the challenges.

The first case involved a challenge by the NRA to a Texas law that prevents 18-20 year olds from carrying handguns in public. It also raised the broader question of whether there is a broad right under the Second Amendment to bear arms in public.

The second NRA case was a challenge to several federal laws and regulations, dating back to 1968, that make it illegal for firearms dealers to sell guns or ammunition to anyone under 21.

The third case was on the narrow question of whether consumers have the legal right to challenge laws that regulate the sale of firearms. The challenge to a federal law that restricts the interstate transport of guns, and a related Virginia law, were filed by several District of Columbia residents who wished to obtain guns via neighboring Virginia.

The court has yet to decide whether there is a right to carry guns in public, a question left unanswered in its two most recent gun-related decisions.

In the 2008 District of Columbia v. Heller case, the court held that the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution guaranteed an individual right to bear arms. Two years later in McDonald v. City of Chicago, the court held that the earlier ruling applied to the states

ed. note:

Could the Supreme Court be correct in refusing to hear these matters?

In view of the 2008 decision, which settled the matter regarding the second amendment, why "stir up the hornet's nest" with these extraneous lawsuits?

When they ruled obamacare was a tax, why wasn't obamacare then challenged on the basis that it was an illegal tax, that did not originate in the U.S. House of Representatives.

The "loyal opposition"...indeed.

Your opinion?

...the second amendment's purpose was clear: when all other remedies fail, a righteous, armed citizenry is the remedy of choice against tyranny. The best deterrent, too. Bullies and criminals fear guns.

So many millions of liberal progressive democrats have turned a blind ear toward the document our founders fought and gave their lives for.

We need our high court to reinvigorate all the rights and privileges enumerated in the US Constitution . . . not for US but for THEM. THEY have a leader in OUR White House who is responsible for violating the amendments of the very document that allowed him access to the office of president.

If our congress fails to stop Obama then the last branch of our government has a huge responsibility and possibly has the last opportunity to keep this nation whole.

...THE FOUNDERS GAVE US THE DEFINITION:

"...A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed. "

IN TERMS EASILY UNDERSTOOD BY THE COMMON MAN, no further interpretation is needed.

( The word "regulated" was understood to mean "trained" in the Founders' day...all were proficient, MARKSMEN all....not marxmen, but Patriots. )

We the People who own guns and do not want our right to own guns (or carry and USE them) challenged, would like every opportunity to tell the anti-gun nuts to shove off. The supreme court failed us.

The prospect of our highest court's current refusal to continue to clearly define all of our rights to bear arms and gun carry issues only serves to delay providing the  necessary answers to those who would remove guns from our nation entirely PLUS change the effect of the second amendment or remove it.
