Why can't the SCOTUS take a case involving carry outside the home or ownership of ARs? (I thought that Scalia and Thomas recently pushed for them to hear one of these cases but didn't get the votes.....iirc)
And I thought SCOTUS already ruled on this and said that the Lautenburg amendment was Constitutional. Or am I wrong on his case?

U.S. Supreme Court to hear Mainers’ appeal on gun ban for domestic violence convictions
NEWS Posted October 30, 2015 Updated October 31, 2015
In a case that will hinge on intent, a lawyer for the two men will argue that their guilty pleas for hitting their partners shouldn't bar them from owning guns.
Two Maine men who pleaded guilty to domestic violence and later were found to possess guns said a federal law barring gun ownership by convicts shouldn’t apply to them because their conduct was reckless and not intentional.
