Supreme Court Upholds Gun Ban for Domestic Abusers

The Supreme Court upheld a federal law banning individuals under domestic violence restraining orders from possessing firearms, ruling 8-1 that it does not violate the Second Amendment. Chief Justice John Roberts wrote the majority opinion, emphasizing that the law aligns with historical firearm regulations. The decision reverses a previous ruling by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit and was praised by President Biden and gun violence prevention groups. Justice Clarence Thomas dissented, arguing the ban lacks historical precedent.
