TL;DR Summary

Supreme Court Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas raised deplorable arguments in the gun rights case of United States v.

Despite the factual evidence of Zackey Rahimi's violent behavior and restraining order against him, Alito and Thomas questioned the fairness of taking away guns in civil proceedings and prioritized the rights of gun owners over the safety of victims.
