The Supreme Court upheld a federal law Friday that bars guns for domestic abusers, rejecting an argument pressed by gun rights groups that the prohibition violated the Second Amendment.

8-1 with Thomas the dissent.

“The court and government do not point to a single historical law revoking a citizen’s Second Amendment right based on possible interpersonal violence,” Thomas wrote. “Yet, in the interest of ensuring the Government can regulate one subset of society, today’s decision puts at risk the Second Amendment rights of many more.”

    Thomas, as per usual, is on the wrong side of history. You can almost 100% pick the correct verdict by choosing the opposite of his vote with a very limited number of exceptions. If these were Vegas odds, you’d get rich betting against him with almost no downside.

      If that was the case betting against him would give very little return as it’d be seen as a sure thing.
