The Supreme Court has upheld a law that prohibits people subjected to domestic violence restraining orders from owning firearms in an 8-1 decision. NBC News' Lisa Rubin and Yamiche Alcindor report on the ruling.

Welcome back, Deadline: Legal Newsletter readers. We’re in the final stretch of the Supreme Court term, with Donald Trump’s immunity appeal still undecided and the court ending this week with the long-awaited Second Amendment ruling in United States v. Rahimi. The justices upheld a commonsense law that was only in doubt because of the GOP-appointed majority’s recent gun rights expansion.

Cargill gave Congress the chance to ban the deadly devices. But true to form, Republicans blocked that legislation this week. Meanwhile, Trump ally Steve Bannon wants the justices to keep him free pending his contempt of Congress appeal. A divided appellate panel in Washington rejected his attempt Thursday, but a dissenting Trump-appointed judge thinks the MAGA podcaster should stay out for now. We could learn next week if the high court will keep Bannon free or make him go to prison July 1.
