The The HIll: Supreme Court upholds federal law banning domestic abusers from owning guns.

The Supreme Court in an 8-1 decision Friday upheld a federal law that disarms people under domestic violence restraining orders, ruling it complies with the court’s recent expansion of Second Amendment rights.

The lone dissenter? Why it is our favorite grifter, Clarence “Harlan’s buddy” Thomas.

Does this guy fit the image the Framers were thinking of when they wrote about a well-regulated militia?

Zackey Rahimi, the man, had been placed under a restraining order after he dragged his girlfriend, with whom he has a child, into a parking lot and attempted to shoot a witness. Rahimi later participated in a series of five shootings, court filings show, and he was indicted on the gun charge after police found a rifle and a pistol while searching his home.

Thomas says this ruling “puts at risk the Second Amendment rights of many more.”
