Supreme Court's Impact on Gun Rights and Domestic Violence Survivors

The Supreme Court appears inclined to rule in favor of a federal law that prohibits individuals subject to certain domestic violence restraining orders from possessing firearms. This case marks the first significant Second Amendment case since the court's landmark opinion last year expanding gun rights nationwide. The ruling, expected by July, may not provide a broad resolution to the confusion surrounding lower courts' interpretation of gun laws. The court's decision could be closely tied to the specific facts of the case, clarifying that the Second Amendment does not protect those deemed dangerous to society.
