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.

    Cute rhetoric to match your own!

    So do you oppose holding people in jail who’ve only been accused of a crime? For example, your friendly neighborhood serial killer gets arrested and held without bail until trial, losing nearly all of his rights in the process. Are you really arguing this person should walk free because he hasn’t been tried and convicted? Doesn’t this precedent also create a slippery slope where before you know it, we’re all forced to be microchipped and tracked by the government?

    You seem very opinionated without having actually sat down and thought your argument through to any logical conclusion.
