Supreme Court leans toward upholding law that bars those accused of domestic violence from having firearms

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.

Sneaky way to disarm the cops

Just remember qualified immunity exists.

"Your honor I feared for my life, you should have seen the dinner she made, it was subpar at best."

In the dim lighting, the potroast, burnt, appeared to be an "urban", African American Male, young twenties, medium build and height. The gravy boat, a Glock 19 held sideways in a "gangster" style. All on my kitchen table. In my own home. I acted decisively, as any trained officer of the law would. I attempted to eliminate the potroast. There were unfortunate civilian casualties; but, in my judgment, swift action was necessary to uphold the law.
