As I suspected, SCOTUS granted a number of new cases, one of which is 2A related. US v Gary.

Issue: Whether a defendant who pleaded guilty to possessing a firearm as a felon, in violation of 18 U.S.C. 922(g)(1) and 924(a), is automatically entitled to plain-error relief if the district court did not advise him that one element of that offense is knowledge of his status as a felon, regardless of whether he can show that the district court’s error affected the outcome of the proceedings.
It appears the case is mostly related to notification so I doubt there will be much about the 2A itself.
