8-1 with Thomas the dissent.

“The court and government do not point to a single historical law revoking a citizen’s Second Amendment right based on possible interpersonal violence,” Thomas wrote. “Yet, in the interest of ensuring the Government can regulate one subset of society, today’s decision puts at risk the Second Amendment rights of many more.”

I'm curious to see how this works with law enforcement.

Good luck getting a restraining order against your abusive partner when he's a cop.

I had a girlfriend that was a sheriff deputy. those people seriously have each other's backs with things. it's definitely a government-sanctioned gang.
