Supreme Court Upholds Gun Ban for Domestic Abusers

The Supreme Court upheld a 1994 federal gun control law that bans individuals under restraining orders from possessing firearms, aiming to protect domestic violence victims. The 8-1 decision reversed a lower court ruling and was praised by President Joe Biden. The ruling follows the court's 2022 Bruen decision, which expanded gun rights and altered how courts evaluate firearm restrictions. The case involved Zackey Rahimi, who was accused of domestic violence and gun possession while under a restraining order.
