Supreme Court to Rule on Gun Ownership Rights for Domestic Violence Offenders

The Supreme Court has agreed to hear a case challenging a 30-year-old federal law that prohibits individuals under domestic violence restraining orders from owning guns. The case involves a Texas man who was indicted for violating the law after threatening a woman with a gun and being involved in a series of shootings. The man argues that the law violates his Second Amendment rights. The 5th Circuit initially upheld the law but reversed its decision after the Supreme Court set a new standard for evaluating gun restrictions. The Biden administration has appealed the 5th Circuit's decision, and the Supreme Court will hear arguments in the next term.
