Understanding the Supreme Court's decision on domestic violence gun laws

This interview originally aired on "In the Moment" on SDPB Radio.

The U.S. Supreme Court says it is constitutional to restrict an American's gun rights in certain cases of domestic violence. It's a significant clarification for the court. The majority opinion, written by Chief Justice John Roberts, declares that the law is not "trapped in amber."

Mike Thompson, JD, an associate professor of criminal justice at the University of Sioux Falls, stopped by the studio to clarity the decision on United States v. Rahimi.
