On Tuesday, the Supreme Court heard oral arguments in United States v. Rahimi, a case that could dramatically expand gun rights and have deadly consequences for victims of domestic violence. It’s the first major gun-rights case since the Court’s conservative supermajority broadened the scope of the Second Amendment last year, saying courts must use “the historical tradition” as the standard to evaluate whether gun regulations are unconstitutional. Rahimi will determine whether that decision invalidates a law banning people subject to domestic-violence restraining orders from owning firearms.

    I would agree, however if the potential criminal/felon is violent and a threat, then rather then turning this into a gun-rights case, the offender should be in jail until trial. If they can be trusted to operate in society without supervision, then they should have no issues with having guns (or any other weapons.)
