SCOTUS ducks gun cases for now

Story here. I dunno how significant the cert denials actually are, though. One concerns carry by 18 to 20 year olds, the other possession on a college campus. The Court might just have felt that these issues were too narrow to merit review. The last time I checked, the Court was getting around 10,000 petitions per Term, and taking under a hundred of them. These petitions may just not have made it to the top.
"The Court might just have felt that these issues were too narrow to merit review."
The Court has been issuing narrow rulings, so why deny cert to narrow issues?
Flip side: when the Court issued a broad ruling---I consider Bruen a tour-de-force---inferior courts substantially ignored it.
They have to have noticed that we noticed.
