The SC will decide if domestic abusers get to possess firearms.

I guess there is just not enough proof?

Then there's not enough proof to take his guns.

You seem to think getting a restraining order does not required a court to issue one based on evidence presented by the victim.

The courts are biased against men in domestic disputes

Taking his guns foes not mean he cant kill his woman if he wants to

Please stop offering opinions without substantiating them.

You should lecture rightwinger first if you really believe that

‘You’re Running Away From Your Argument’: Liberal Justices Expose Grim Farce In Domestic Violence Gun Case

Tuesday’s arguments married two of the most surreal ramifications of that decision.

The Court’s newly established precedent forced lawyers to plumb the founding era for laws banning domestic abusers from possessing weapons at a time where even the most powerful white women were well over 100 years from suffrage and controlled entirely by their husbands.

And secondly, Zackey Rahimi’s lawyer had to commit to the extremity of his argument, showing how far afield the Court’s radical stance on guns has already traveled. He contended that people like Rahimi — the Texas drug dealer who the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled had his firearms confiscated unconstitutionally after he attacked his ex-girlfriend and then threatened to shoot her if she told anyone — should get to keep deadly weapons.

A couple of the liberal justices lambasted the ludicrousness of the case from both angles.

“I’m a little troubled by having a history and traditions test that also requires some sort of culling of the history so that only certain people’s history counts,” Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson said to Rahimi’s lawyer, Matthew Wright.

She pointed to the reality of the limited founding era laws the Court has ruled litigants must pull from: They were written by and extended their protection only to, as Jackson summarized, “white, Protestant men.” Recognition of the legal rights of enslaved and indigenous people, for a start, is virtually nonexistent in the body of the law that undergirds the Court’s rigid originalism.

Kagan joined with Jackson in cutting through the procedural fog.

“I’ll tell you the honest truth, Mr. Wright — I feel like you’re running away from your argument because the implications of your argument are just so untenable,” Kagan said.

82% of Americans want gun restrictions for those convicted of domestic violence, poll finds

Once again Repubs, and likely the Court, finds itself at odds with common sense and the will of the country's majority, while simultaneously disregarding the threat to the lives of victims of domestic violence. I hope I'm wrong.

Three things are likely to happen if the result anti-gun folks want happens

1) Domestic Abuse will be re-defined. It happens every time a law tries to play to a label.
2) It will become evident to all but the mindless that what they want prevented is already on the books. The Maine shooter had 2 legal stops to having a gun but Biden admin utterly drooped the ball

The FBI didn’t finish over 1 million gun background checks in time to stop a sale in 2020 and 2021​

As gun sales soared over the past two years, more background checks slipped through holes in the system.
3) We will see another huge fight about gays and lesbians and unmarried living togethers as to what qualifies as DOMESTIC. We can't tell who a man or woman is, and marriage is any 2 or more pervs who want the name....
So I predict long-time unmarried couples will know resolve fights by legal action about firearms.

I bought my Colt .45 back in '10 at a gun show in Texas. I had to fill out the form. The clerk told me that if I answered yes, to 'Have you ever been arrested for domestic violence?' that I would be rejected from making the purchase.
