The case will test how far the court's conservative majority is willing to go in interpreting the scope of its 2022 ruling that expanded gun rights outside the home.

The Supreme Court on Tuesday indicated it would uphold a federal law that prohibits people under domestic violence restraining orders from owning firearms, potentially limiting the scope of its own major gun rights ruling from last year.

The case gives the court's 6-3 conservative majority a chance to consider the broad ramifications of the 2022 decision, which for the first time found that there is a right to bear arms outside the home under the Constitution's Second Amendment.

Thank you for summarizing how every court in every state in every county in the US works. It's very helpful to know what all 400,000,000 citizens can expect to experience every single time.

Also keep in mind that all judges are robots immune from bias and every day experiences, especially elected ones since they all require strict prerequisites and training before they can sit.

I guess you'd prefer the scenario that someone made up based on what is almost certainly biased information?

Jurisdictions vary to be sure, but I've represented clients with respect to restraining orders, I know the law and I know the process. Judges hear liars every single day, they are not immune to bullshit, but they're pretty good at figuring it out.
