The U.S. Supreme Court on Friday upheld a federal ban on firearms for people under domestic violence restraining orders.
The 8-1 opinion was authored by Chief Justice John Roberts. Justice Clarence Thomas dissented.
“When a restraining order contains a finding that an individual poses a credible threat to the physical safety of an intimate partner, that individual may—consistent with the Second Amendment—be banned from possessing firearms while the order is in effect,” Roberts wrote. “Since the founding, our Nation’s firearm laws have included provisions preventing individuals who threaten physical harm to others from misusing firearms.”
How does that work for all the officers with domestic violence charges?
Betting those are going to mysteriously start declining and disappear entirely…The solo dissents Justice Ruckus writes can be pretty wild. I’ll have to look into this one.
Lol, the other judges made Thomas dissent so it would be unanimous and it would sound better.
