Too bad they won't take on two of the more important and pressing gun cases that deal with shall/may issue and carry outside the home.

Supreme Court agrees to decide gun ownership case
By Lawrence Hurley

(Reuters) - The U.S. Supreme Court agreed on Monday to decide whether a Florida man convicted on drug charges and forced to give up his firearms under federal law could sell the guns or transfer ownership to his wife or a friend.
The legal question is whether the federal prohibition on felons possessing firearms terminates all ownership rights. Lower courts are divided on the issue.
