Every 12 hours, someone is shot and killed by a current or former intimate partner. Over half of all women murdered in the U.S. are killed by a current or former intimate partner, and in the United States,?60% of mass shooting events?between 2014-2019 were either domestic violence attacks or perpetrated by those with a history of domestic violence. On Friday?June 21st the Supreme Court?ruled that the government can take guns away from people subject to restraining orders for domestic violence. This ruling upholds a law protecting domestic violence survivors and more than a victory, it is truly life saving. “When a restraining order contains a finding that an individual poses a credible threat to the physical safety of an intimate partner, that individual may — consistent with the Second Amendment — be banned from possessing firearms while the order is in effect,” the chief justice wrote. “Since the founding, our nation’s firearm laws have included provisions preventing individuals who threaten physical harm to others from misusing firearms.” Justice Clarence Thomas was the only dissenter.
