Supreme Court hears major test of 2nd Amendment gun rights in domestic violence case
The Supreme Court on Tuesday confronts a major test of the 2nd Amendment and its protection for gun rights, including whether they extend even for people who are subject to a domestic violence restraining order.
At issue is the broader question of whether modern gun control laws may deny firearms to potentially dangerous people, including felons and drug addicts.
The court's conservatives strongly support the 2nd Amendment, and last year Justice Clarence Thomas wrote an opinion for a 6-3 majority enacted since the 1960s.
