8-1 Sweep

The Supreme Court on Friday upheld a federal law banning people under domestic violence restraining orders (DVROs) from possessing guns, in the Court's first major review of the Second Amendment this term.

In an 8-1 opinion written by Chief Justice Roberts, the Court majority stated:[W]We concluded simply that “individuals determined by a court to pose a credible threat to the physical safety of others may be temporarily disarmed pursuant to the Second Amendment.” Justice Clarence Thomas was the lone dissenter.

Both the liberal and conservative justices agreed with the Biden administration that while there may not have been a specific ban when the Constitution was written in the 1790s, there was a history and tradition of keeping firearms away from dangerous people.
