Supreme Court Upholds Gun Ban for Domestic Abusers

The Supreme Court upheld a federal law banning gun possession for individuals under domestic violence restraining orders, ruling 8-1 that such restrictions are consistent with the Second Amendment. The decision, authored by Chief Justice Roberts, emphasized that those deemed a credible threat to safety can be temporarily disarmed. Justice Clarence Thomas dissented, arguing the ruling risks broader Second Amendment rights. The case, U.S. v. Rahimi, could impact other gun-rights measures and related legal challenges.
