cases on the 2nd Amendment and refused to hear them.
The petition for Writ of Certiorari in U.S. v. Emerson, 99-10331 (5th Cir. 2001) was denied by SCOTUS on 10 June 02.
The petition for Writ of Certiorari in Silveira v. Lockyer, 01-15098 (9th Cir. 2002) was denied by SCOTUS on 1 Dec 03.
One conjecture however is that SCOTUS was waiting for more judges who would support an individual RKBA interpretation to avoid a 5-4 decision.
