Supreme Court Upholds Federal Gun Law on Domestic Violence Restraining Orders
The Supreme Court upheld a federal gun law prohibiting those under domestic violence restraining orders from having firearms in an 8-1 vote. Chief Justice John Roberts wrote the majority decision tempering the court's expansion of Second Amendment rights, emphasizing that the Amendment doesn't protect gun rights of individuals deemed dangerous. The decision marked the court's first application of the landmark 2022 ruling in Bruin, establishing a right to carry a handgun in public and requiring historical gun law restrictions to survive.
