• The Supreme Court on Tuesday has a day of reckoning over its own expansive gun rights ruling from last year, as it considers whether a federal law that prohibits alleged domestic abusers from owning firearms is unconstitutional as a result.
• The case gives the court’s 6-3 conservative majority a chance to consider the broad ramifications of the 2022 decision, which for the first time found that there is a right to bear arms outside the home under the Constitution’s Second Amendment.
• The ruling, in a case called New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen, made it clear that gun restrictions had to be analyzed based on a historical understanding of the right to bear arms.
