Penelope Lopez is working on a story about a ruling from the U.S. Supreme Court for the news tonight:
- U.S Supreme Court upheld a federal gun control law that is intended to protect domestic violence survivors
- The law prohibits domestic abusers with a restraining order to possess a gun.
- The 8-1 opinion was authored by Chief Justice John Roberts. Justice Clarence Thomas was the lone dissenter.
