The decision ended a 16-year streak of major rulings expanding gun rights. In particular, a 2022 ruling from the court vastly expanded Second Amendment rights and created a new test to assess gun laws by looking at historical practices to judge their constitutionality. Using that test, a federal judge had ruled that it was unconstitutional to take guns from domestic abusers. But today, Chief Justice John Roberts, writing for the majority, said that Second Amendment rights do have limits. “When a restraining order contains a finding that an individual poses a credible threat to the physical safety of an intimate partner, that individual may — consistent with the Second Amendment — be banned from possessing firearms,” he wrote. Justice Clarence Thomas, the author of the majority opinion in the 2022 decision, was the only dissenter. He argued that the government has a better way to disarm dangerous people: by prosecuting them for criminal violence.
