Title: SCOTUS rules 9-0 on guns

Police cannot seize a firearm from your home without a warrant. This is a fantastic ruling.

How often is there a 9-0 on anything?

Well, really they ruled 9-0 on warrantless searches/seizures.  The item seized just happened to be two guns.

Surprise, this just last year, and Ginsburg wrote the opinion.

Unfortunately, this case did not necessarily help us with Red Flag laws:

“Justice Samuel Alito noted in a concurring opinion that some of the principles of Caniglia’s case could apply to rulings on red flag laws, which allow police to seize guns owned by individuals deemed dangerous to themselves or others. “Provisions of red flag laws may be challenged under the Fourth Amendment, and those cases may come before us. Our decision today does not address those issues,” he wrote.”
