The U.S. Supreme Court on Friday upheld a federal law that prohibits people under domestic violence restraining orders from having guns.
The 8-1 decision (Justice Clarence Thomas dissented) keeps in place a 1994 ban on firearms for people under restraining orders to stay away from their spouses or partners. The justices reversed a ruling from the federal appeals court in New Orleans striking down the law.
Advocates argued that removing guns in domestic abuse cases is one of the most effective actions you can take to protect victims of domestic violence. Gun rights supporters countered that people under protection orders haven’t been convicted of a crime, thus taking their firearms away violates the Second Amendment.
