5th Circuit Court of Appeals Rules Federal Law Prohibiting Domestic Violence Restraining Order Holders from Possessing Firearms Unconstitutional

The 5th Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled that a federal law prohibiting people subject to domestic violence restraining orders from possessing firearms is unconstitutional, in line with the Supreme Court's 6-3 decision in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association, Inc. v. Bruen. This ruling is a major victory for gun rights advocates, and could be appealed to the Supreme Court to decide the fate of the law.
