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.

    It’s not! The right of an individual to own a small arsenal with absolutely no oversight or regulation whatsoever is SCOTUS Constitutionally guaranteed, while living is not. If life were so important, why didn’t the founding fathers put that in the Constitution?

    Ergo, me spending more on ammunition than my local school district spends on feeding its students clearly supercedes some random woman’s privilege to life.

    See? Easy!

    (If you thought any of the above sounded remotely sensical, for the love of God don’t vote and don’t have kids.)
