No but a court ruled on the constitutionality of the 2nd.
District of Columbia v. Heller, 554 U.S. 570 (2008), was a landmark decision of the US Supreme Court ruling that the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution protects an individual's right to keep and bear arms, unconnected with service in a militia, for traditionally lawful purposes, such as self-defense within the home, and that the District of Columbia's handgun ban and requirement that lawfully owned rifles and shotguns be kept "unloaded and disassembled or bound by a trigger.
"Are you telling me that the courts can deny your right to free speech as well'?
In a sense, several state were sued under the 1st amendment by churches, claiming their rights were being violated, because they were targeted by the state.
They were found not to be targeted because non religious assembly's.
On May 16, 2020, a North Carolina federal district court granted a temporary restraining order to a Baptist church against the application of certain state executive orders implemented in response to COVID-19. The executive orders allowed indoor gatherings of up to 50 persons in nonreligious settings stores, public transportation and libraries while limiting indoor religious services to no more than 10 persons.
While the court conceded the First Amendment right to free exercise is not without limits, when a constitutional right is impinged, a government can only do so with laws that are narrowly tailored to serve a compelling governmental interest. That was not done here because the government had placed less restrictions on nonreligious assemblies.
On May 29, 2020, the U.S. Supreme Court, by a 5-4 vote, denied an application for injunctive relief from a California Pentecostal church challenging a state executive order limiting religious gatherings to 25% of building capacity or 100, whichever is fewer.
In his concurring opinion, Chief Justice Roberts touched on two key points. First, he found an injunction was not warranted because the executive orders in question put similar restrictions on similar assemblies regardless of whether they have a religious purpose. Second, determining which restrictions are necessary is a fact-intensive, time-sensitive determination reserved for the executive branch of government, not a federal court.

Furthermore, mass Justice against tRump, his criminal family and co conspiring insurrectionist and seditious repukes would be good for America and the common decency of humanity on Earth at finally turning the tables of Justice on all of them as a result of having their destructive way for too long. This would indeed, in particular, make Congress great again at flushing out all of the GOPer trash, sedition, treason and other despicable atrocities that they relate to in violation of their lousy oaths with U.S. Constitutional law.
