The Supreme Court upheld the federal ban on gun possession by people under qualifying domestic-violence restraining orders on June 21, 2024. NPR, AP, and Reuters all reported the ruling as one of the Court's most important post-Bruen Second Amendment decisions.
Across those outlets, there was agreement that the justices said legislatures may disarm people found to threaten the physical safety of others. The ruling preserved a longstanding federal restriction that lower courts had started to question after the Court's 2022 gun-rights test.
Coverage focused less on partisan framing than on doctrinal significance, but NPR gave more space to domestic-violence advocates while Reuters and AP concentrated on the legal standard.
