Supreme Court's Impact on Gun Rights and Violence in America

The Supreme Court is set to hear a gun rights case on Tuesday that will test the limits of the Second Amendment. The case involves a drug dealer with a history of armed violence who was convicted of violating a federal law aimed at preventing domestic abuse. Last year's landmark decision by the Supreme Court created confusion by stating that only historical practices matter in assessing challenges to gun laws. Lower courts have struggled to apply this standard, leading to diverging decisions. The court must now clarify and refine the standard, as judges complain about the burden of conducting historical inquiries.
