Justice Sonia Sotomayor has not yet acted on another similar request. The ban goes into effect on Tuesday but lower courts have yet to rule on an appeals brought by gun rights activists in Michigan and the U.S. capital. A Washington-based federal district court judge in February upheld the ban, prompting gun rights advocates to appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. That court heard oral arguments on Friday but has not yet ruled. The appeals court, however, say that the ban cannot go into effect in relation to the specific individuals and groups challenging it.

These triple and quadruple negatives get me SO CONFUSED .....

Reuters... Maybe I'm simple but do you have to write this headline in triple negative? 'Chief Justice /rejects/ the /blocking/ of a /ban/'... So... That means the ban is... upheld? Right?

Come and live in the UK, we haven't got any guns..... Just lots and lots and lots of knives.

Gun groups lobbied the justices a couple days ago. It worked. I’m sure the justice made us safer with this choice

Good. Now we need to get rid of what the bump stocks attach to. No need for them in civilian's hands.

‘Mercia. Just let the kids die. PeteButtigieg We need your wisdom to fix this.

Michigan federal district court judge last week ruled in favor of the administration against gun rights.
