The decision by a three-judge panel of the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals is the latest victory for gun rights advocates since a Supreme Court decision last June granting a broad right for people to carry firearms outside the home.for assessing firearms laws, saying restrictions must be "consistent with this nation's historical tradition of firearm regulation," and not simply advance an important government interest.
In Thursday's decision, Circuit Judge Cory Wilson said banning people under domestic violence restraining orders from owning firearms "embodies salutory policy goals meant to protect vulnerable people in our society." But the judge, appointed by Donald Trump, said Bruen made such a consideration irrelevant, and that from a historical perspective the ban was "an outlier that our ancestors would never have accepted."
Sure. Let abusers kill their wives. The American way
Nothing new here, this is not going to change unless the constitution going to be amended. But it's not going to happen: the NRA lobby is too powerful, politicians too scared, and society (on average) too dumb.
Lmao, tbh this one makes a bit of sense Still waiting for MD's idiotic assault weapons ban to get keked though, very annoying how slow courts are
That’s alarming!
Look at these land whales
Why don’t we just give all the violent crazies guns and get it over with? That is apparently the America the NRA built. The price of freeeedumb.
Just a heads up, somebody intent on committing murder doesn't care about laws against murder, let alone laws against owing a gun. These replies read as if gun laws actually stop violent criminals from getting guns. (See Chicago for reference).
Any law against firearms is unconstitutional.
What part of SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED?
This is scary!!!
There's no chance someone will die because of this ruling. 🤪
Holy fuck is this real? People with restraining orders for DOMESTIC VIOLENCE MAY OWN FIREARMS? WHAT THE FUUUCK
Because that's not a conviction of anything.
these dickwad abusers must have a hell of a militia for it to be deemed constitutional then
OMG Stop this insanity. Please. People will die.
2nd amendment. The new god America worships.
This will kill even more people. On to the Supreme Court I guess.
Only in Murica!

Americans make up about 4.4 percent of the global population but own 42 percent of the world’s guns. From 1966 to 2012, 31% of the gunmen in mass shootings worldwide were American...2015 study by Adam Lankford, a professor at the University of Alabama
How dumb is that! Maybe convicted criminals who are in jail should have guns to protect themselves from other convicted criminals.
And the rest of the world shakes it head.... Yet again.....
“The Johns Hopkins Center for Gun Violence Solutions found that almost 7 out of 10 mass shootings involved a suspect shooting one of their own family members or an intimate partner or had a history of domestic violence.”
How else to defend yourself from a battered spouse gone rogue?
Our courts are fscked
Eek, that’s scary
Because it makes perfect sense 😏
Seems like people under 'domestic violence orders' would be top of the list? 😠
This is just so sad... and legally incorrect. This Court's reasoning, at least about the Second Amendment, is simply wrong.
'and that from a historical perspective the ban was 'an outlier that our ancestors would never have accepted.' because historically domestic violence didnt mean shit... so who wouldve cared if the guy beating his wife owned a gun
Jesus Christ
