Opinion here. I'm still reading. It's by Roberts and 8-1, Thomas dissenting.

My objection is to the range of DV infractions and how it slowly creeps downwards. A shouting match with a partner can get one a DV conviction.
Fine BUT are the historical laws considered state statutes or federal statutes? Are those state laws passed before or after 1833? If after 1833, the court errs because according to the court in 1833 the 2nd amendment ONLY binds the feds and not the states so state laws are do not impact the meaning/extent of the 2nd because the 2nd is not involved with state law.
The courts should be required to have a literature cited section in their decisions that covers EVERY piece of legislation they believe impacts the decision.
