The Supreme Court on Friday said it will hear a case involving whether the government can bar domestic violence perpetrators from owning a gun, setting up the next big test of gun rights for the justices.

The court, in a spate of last-minute orders, also agreed to hear several immigration-related cases, but refused to hear a case on transgender rights and the Americans with Disabilities Act.

A federal appeals court used that ruling to strike down a federal law blocking those subject to domestic violence protection from possessing a firearm, ruling it failed the history test because it wasn’t the type of prohibition the authors of the Second Amendment would have recognized. Friday marked the last scheduled day of opinions for the current term. The court also released a series of cleanup orders accepting and denying cases for the next term.

The court said it would not hear a series of criminal rights cases, prompting protests from Justice Sonia Sotomayor.
