Supreme Court Upholds Gun Ban for Domestic Abusers

The Supreme Court upheld a federal law prohibiting individuals with domestic violence restraining orders from possessing firearms, ruling 8-1 in favor of the Biden administration. This decision marks a step back from the court's recent broad endorsement of gun rights and indicates that some longstanding gun laws may survive despite the 2022 ruling expanding the right to bear arms outside the home. The case involved Zackey Rahimi, who was prosecuted under the federal gun possession restriction after his partner obtained a restraining order against him.
