U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas has declined to hear cases from Illinois residents suing over gun bans. The decision means that the U.S. Supreme Court will not take up unfinished cases challenging Illinois' gun ban without a final judgment from the appeals court, sending the matter back to the lower courts.

The Illinois gun ban remains in place for now, but rights advocates believe its days are numbered. The Washington Examiner reported on the ongoing situation, reflecting the uncertainty surrounding future legal challenges.

Rep. Rosenthal addressed the Illinois Supreme Court ruling on the gun ban through a statement available on his official website.
