The US Supreme Court upheld a ban on people convicted of domestic violence from owning guns.

The justices ruled 8-1 in favor of a 1994 firearm ban for people who are subject to restraining orders to stay away from their partners.
“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 while the order is in effect,” conservative Chief Justice John Roberts wrote.
The verdict overturns a previous ruling from a lower court that said the 1994 ban violated US citizens’ Second Amendment right to “keep and bear arms.”
The Biden administration said the law was needed to protect society and specifically victims of domestic abuse, who are often women.
