Takeaways from the Supreme Court oral arguments on the Second Amendment and domestic violence

The Supreme Court seemed poised Tuesday after oral arguments to rule in favor of a federal law that bars individuals subject to certain domestic violence restraining orders from possessing firearms.

The case – argued in the wake of a mass shooting in Maine that killed 18 last month – is the first substantive Second Amendment case to come before the justices since they issued a landmark opinion last year expanding gun rights nationwide that’s caused massive confusion in lower courts as dozens of firearms laws are reviewed.
