Supreme Court Upholds Federal Gun Ban for Domestic Abusers

The ruling reaffirms a 1994 law but leaves broader questions on gun restrictions unresolved.

• The Court's 8-1 decision supports a law preventing those with domestic violence restraining orders from owning firearms.
• Chief Justice Roberts emphasized the ruling is grounded in 'common sense' and historical precedent.
• Justice Clarence Thomas dissented, arguing the law lacks historical justification.
• The decision comes amid ongoing debates on the scope of the Second Amendment post-Bruen ruling.
• Future cases will test the limits of gun restrictions, including laws on nonviolent felons and drug users.
