Washington — The Supreme Court on Friday upheld a federal law that prohibits people who are subject to domestic-violence restraining orders from having firearms, ruling that the measure does not violate the Second Amendment.
The court ruled 8-1 that a person who has been found by a court to pose a credible threat to the physical safety of another may be temporarily disarmed consistent with the Second Amendment. Chief Justice John Roberts wrote the majority opinion. Justice Clarence Thomas was the lone dissenter.
"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. Since the founding, our Nation's firearm laws have included provisions preventing individuals who threaten physical harm to others from misusing firearms," Roberts wrote.
"As applied to the facts of this case, [the law] fits comfortably within this tradition."

Ridiculous. These types of orders can be had without even letting the 'accused' say a word in court in his defense. This is a grave miscarriage of justice. All it takes are the accusations of a single vindictive and evil woman. God bless Thomas. Screw the rest of them.
you totally discredit yourself with this bit of idiocy. If you are incarcerated, you lose many rights while you are incarcerated. Once you have done your time and paid your debt to society, you are merely another human being. The fact that the government thinks it can still take away rights granted to you by God, is an abuse of power.
Indeed. The supporters of the all-powerful police state out themselves with their comments about this ruling.
Of course, the definition of “credible” and “temporary” can vary depending on who is doing the judging. 🧐
Amen. The government can never be trusted, at any level.
So what are men going to do about it? They have plenty of money and time for watching ball games, going to strip bars, and billions to spend on prostitution. How about if men take some of that money and time, and use it to fight for their rights as every other group has?

Yep, restraining orders are signed by judges. Have 8 of 9 sc justices not noticed how many activist judges there are these days???
