The Supreme Court issued major decisions on guns, weedkiller and immigration — but has yet to decide one of the most-watched cases of the year. Here’s what to know.

Guns ruling: In a 6-3 decision, the court struck down a Hawaii law prohibiting people from carrying firearms on privately owned property open to the public without the property owner’s express consent. The conservative majority said the law imposed "severe restrictions" on lawful gun owners, citing the Second Amendment. [ABC News]
Other developments: Separately, the court handed President Trump victories in two immigration cases and blocked thousands of lawsuits against a popular weedkiller. The court is expected to issue a ruling on who qualifies for U.S. citizenship in the coming days. [USA Today]
