Today, the US Supreme Court is currently reviewing a gun case that poses the question of whether individuals with domestic violence restraining orders should be permitted to possess firearms. This hearing is a response to a previous appeals court decision that invalidated a federal law from 1994, which prohibited individuals under restraining orders from owning guns. The case specifically focuses on individuals who are legally mandated to keep their distance from their spouses or partners.
Notably, this marks the Supreme Court’s first involvement in a gun-related case since expanding gun rights in the previous year..
