SCOTUS justices confronted with their own 'historical tradition' rule in pivotal gun case

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

62% : Rather, Prelogar argued, "history and tradition" provide a rich context for what the terms mean. "Irresponsible" corresponds only to precedent directly related to the specific danger of gun possession, Prelogar explained.
58% : The statute itself restricts individuals from gun possession if they are "subject to a court order that restrains [them] from harassing, stalking, or threatening an intimate partner" -- and applies even if the court order in question is a civil, not criminal, one.
55% : Erin Schaff/The New York Times via AP, Pool) The U.S. Supreme Court heard oral arguments Tuesday in a case with major implications for the future of gun rights.
51% : " Perhaps an even broader consequence is the future of the Supreme Court's recent ruling in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen, in which the 6-member majority leaned hard on the "historical" basis for gun rights.
49% : When Jackson questioned Prelogar, she raised yet another key point with respect to the role of "historical tradition" in the context of gun rights for domestic abusers.
42% : She then continued with a reminder that the risks of firearms affect law enforcement as well.
30% : In an appeal from a ruling by the most conservative appeals court in the nation, the Biden administration asked the justices to keep guns out of the hands of domestic abusers by refining the law handed down by a ruling handed down by the Court in 2022.
