Supreme Court's Second Amendment Case: Impact on Gun Rights and Domestic Violence

The Supreme Court is set to hear a Second Amendment case involving a law banning individuals subject to domestic violence restraining orders from owning guns. The case could have significant implications for victims of domestic violence, as studies show that the presence of a gun increases the risk of death for women. The attorneys in the case are relying on a previous Supreme Court decision that gun regulations must align with the nation's historical tradition of firearm regulation. Justices Kavanaugh, Barrett, and Thomas will be closely watched for their positions on gun rights and domestic violence. Kavanaugh and Barrett have previously expressed views on gun restrictions, while Thomas is known for his originalist interpretation of the Constitution.
