(Bloomberg) -- The U.S. Supreme Court rejected three appeals from people who lost their right to own a firearm when they were convicted of nonviolent crimes, in a fresh sign of the court’s reluctance to re-enter the national debate over gun rights.

The justices on Monday left intact lower court decisions that said the three people -- whose crimes included driving under the influence of alcohol, tax fraud and smuggling -- could be barred from owning guns without violating the Constitution’s Second Amendment. The court made no comment, turning away the cases as part of a list of orders.

The rebuff comes the nation reels from a series of mass shootings and as a push for new gun restrictions intensifies across the country.

The appeals sought to carve out exceptions to the federal law that outlaws gun possession by people who were convicted of most crimes punishable by more than a year in prison.
