An outright lie from the Brady campaign

In a 7-2 decision Monday, the Supreme Court of the United States refused to review a decision by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit, upholding an ordinance by the city of Highland Park, IL

This is a lie - not just a lie, but an outright, bald-faced lie - from the Brady campaign.
Cert denied is not a ruling on the merits of the case and therefore upholds nothing.

But it is good enough for the libtard gun grabbers, so they'll run with it anyway.

You clearly didn't understand it. By refusing to hear a case, whatever prior judgement stands. Thereby 'upholding' the prior decision.

This is a statement of ignorance and/or dishonesty..

A case can only be "upheld" after the court hears it.

The granting of a writ does not necessarily mean that the Supreme Court disagrees with the decision of the lower court. Granting a writ of certiorari means merely that at least four of the justices have determined that the circumstances described in the petition are sufficient to warrant review by the Court. Conversely, the Supreme Court's denial of a petition for a writ of certiorari is sometimes misunderstood to mean that the Supreme Court approves the decision of the lower court. As the Court explained in Missouri v. Jenkins,[22] however, such a denial "imports no expression of opinion upon the merits of the case. ..." In particular, a denial of a writ of certiorari means that no binding precedent is created by the denial itself, and that the lower court's decision is treated as mandatory authority only within the region of jurisdiction of that court.

The Brady campaign lied.

They let the gun control law stand. Feel better now? Semantics don't change the fact the gun nutters lost, in this case.

Interesting that the usual anti-gun loons haven't responded here, trying to defend the Brady campaign.
