DOJ appeals to Supreme Court after court invalidates domestic violence restraining order gun ban
Fox News
The Justice Department is asking the Supreme Court to allow a federal ban on gun ownership for individuals under domestic abuse retraining orders to stand.
"More than a million acts of domestic violence occur in the United States every year, and the presence of a firearm increases the chance that violence will escalate to homicide," a Justice Department petition states.
