Supreme Court's Impact on Guns

The Supreme Court issued significant rulings on gun rights, showing a conservative stance. In one case, the court upheld a law disallowing individuals under domestic violence restraining orders from possessing guns. Chief Justice John Roberts led the majority in interpreting the Second Amendment more broadly.

The ruling highlighted a textualist approach by the conservative majority in questioning the legality of banning bump stocks.
