"Supreme Court's Impact on Gun Control and Legislative Balance"

Two Supreme Court cases could have a significant impact on gun control laws in the United States. One case involves a man named Zackey Rahimi, who won the right to own a gun after a federal appeal court struck down a law that banned people under restraining orders from gun possession. The other case, Cargill v. Garland, challenges a regulation that classified bump stocks as machine guns. These cases could potentially affect hundreds of thousands of people and shape the future of gun control legislation.

Supreme Court Grapples with Gun Rights and Domestic Abuse

The Supreme Court, with its conservative supermajority, seemed inclined to rule that the government may disarm individuals under domestic violence restraining orders, despite their previous decisions expanding gun rights. Justices who have historically pushed against restrictions on gun ownership appeared sympathetic to limits for people under such orders.

Supreme Court's Potential Impact on Domestic Abuse and Gun Rights

The Supreme Court appears likely to uphold a federal statute that prohibits individuals under domestic-violence restraining orders from possessing firearms. Justices on both sides of the ideological divide indicated that the Second Amendment does not prevent legislatures from restricting firearm possession after a court determines that a person is dangerous. The case involves a Texas man who was arrested for possessing guns while under a domestic-violence restraining order. The Biden administration argued that the law is constitutional and necessary to protect victims of domestic abuse. The court's decision could provide further guidance on the application of the historical test set in a previous gun rights case.

Supreme Court Grapples with Domestic Violence and Gun Rights

The US Supreme Court is hearing arguments on the constitutionality of a federal law that prohibits individuals under domestic violence restraining orders from possessing guns. The law, intended to protect victims of domestic abuse, was struck down by a lower court as a violation of the Second Amendment. Conservative justices expressed skepticism about the law's broad definition of "responsible" gun ownership. Advocacy groups argue that armed abusers pose a grave danger, citing studies that show the presence of guns increases the likelihood of intimate partner fatalities. The court's conservative majority has previously expanded gun rights, and a ruling is expected by June.

Supreme Court to Decide on Gun Ownership for Domestic Abusers

The Supreme Court has agreed to review a case that challenges whether individuals subject to domestic-violence restraining orders can be prohibited from owning firearms. This will be the first major test of gun restrictions since the court's conservative majority expanded Second Amendment rights last year. The case involves a 1994 federal law that prohibits individuals under such orders from possessing firearms. The challenge argues that the law violates the Second Amendment, citing a recent Supreme Court ruling that struck down a New York law requiring a special need to carry a firearm outside the home. Gun rights advocates argue that reversing the law would endanger victims of domestic violence, while proponents of the law argue that abusers should not have the constitutional right to possess firearms.

Why Raquel Leviss Won't Serve Other 'Pump Rules' Stars with Restraining Orders, Explained by Lala Kent's Lawyer.

Lala Kent's lawyer, Darrell Miller, believes that Raquel Leviss' legal notices to her Vanderpump Rules castmates were not personally directed at Lala and that it would be implausible for Leviss to request restraining orders against other cast members. Miller also stated that a judge would have to order or grant a restraining order based on good cause, and that usually comes from declarations with specifics and certain kinds of harm that have either been threatened or proven.
