The case will test how far the court’s conservative majority is willing to go in interpreting the scope of its 2022 ruling that expanded gun rights outside the home.

The Supreme Court on Tuesday indicated it would uphold a federal law that prohibits people under domestic violence restraining orders from owning firearms, potentially limiting the scope of its own major gun rights ruling from last year.

The case gives the court’s 6-3 conservative majority a chance to consider the broad ramifications of the 2022 decision, which for the first time found that there is a right to bear arms outside the home under the Constitution’s Second Amendment.

    Bullshit. All I gotta do I go to court tomorrow, stand in front of a judge and say, “bostonbananarama threatend to kill me”. And we’re done. Temporary order issued, every time.

      Given the number of women that die to gun violence from domestic abusers, we already know your whole narrative you’ve made up here is false.

      All these downvotes from people who have never had it happen to them. Hope nobody has a divorce from an angry and vindictive woman! I was in the military, thousands of miles away, hadn’t seen her for months, when she got a temporary restraining order against me all those decades ago.
