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.

    Y’all are focused on 2A rights and the gun issue. This sort of thing sets a precedent for taking other rights.

    FFS, can no one see past the issue at hand and see how badly this precedent can be abused?!

      It’s not even a 2nd ammendment case, it’s a 5th ammendment issue, which most people arr completely ignoring.
