CNN Quote Chief Justice John Roberts said he and his seven colleagues were “comfortably” in agreement on the decision.
“Our nation’s tradition of firearms control allows the government to take away weapons from individuals who pose a credible threat to the physical safety of others,” Roberts wrote in the majority opinion.
Justice Clarence Thomas wrote the lone dissenting opinion in the decision.
“The Court and the Government have not cited a single historic law that has stripped people of their Second Amendment rights because of the potential for interpersonal violence.
