The Supreme Court has once again chipped away at the 2nd Amendment. In a recent Supreme Court ruling, the court unanimously ruled in favor of broadening federal regulation of firearms under the guise of punishing perpetrators of domestic violence.


This ruling is being heralded as a victory by gun grabbers everywhere, including those in the Obama administration who released a press release declaring it as a victory that ‘will save women’s lives.’ This absurd proclamation is typical demagoguery, assuming that restrictive gun control laws save lives. On the contrary, the areas with the most gun control have the highest firearm-related murder rates.


This ruling does nothing to protect anyone, and opens the door for more restrictive gun laws mandated from the federal level.
