The Supreme Court rejected a challenge from an Arlington man who said federal law preventing people under domestic violence restraining orders from having guns is unconstitutional.

The Supreme Court upheld a federal law, challenged by an Arlington man, that prevents people under domestic violence restraining orders from having guns.The court ruling, which was released on Friday, sided with the Biden administration 8-1. The decision keeps in place a 1994 ban on firearms for people under restraining orders to stay away from their spouses or partners. The justices reversed a ruling from the federal appeals court in New Orleans striking down the law.
