The 7th Circuit refused an en banc rehearing on the AWB. That means the case now goes to the SC..... or not. For the time being, the ban is upheld.

Do we know that for sure, or is that just your best guess? Is there a website we can visit to see what cases have been denied SC review?

Justices won't block Illinois ban on assault-style weapons - SCOTUSblog
The Supreme Court on Thursday afternoon declined to temporarily block an Illinois law that bans the purchase, sale, possession, and manufacture of assault-style weapons.

Supposedly, the SC didn't take the case because the case has yet to be decided at the lower levels - what is called (IIRC) "interlocutory".
Check the flow chart. Shotguns: is it SPECIFICALLY LISTED? No. Can it accept A box magazine or does it have a revolving cylinder? No. Is it a semiautomatic? No.
NOT an assault weapon. Period.
It's extremely rare for SCOTUS to accept a case on an interlocutory basis. They greatly prefer to take on cases that are decided and completed at the lower levels. Despite what you'll read in some media, it's NOT a comment on the merits of the case.
They leap at other political cases but some important gun cases - slow walk. There's no reason to stall except for some political dominance BS. If they have the ability - and did set the Bruen standard - get it over with.
