From the New York Times, I'm Michael Bavaro.

When the Supreme Court wrapped up up its term last week, much of the focus was on the ruling that gave Donald Trump sweeping immunity from criminal prosecution.

But as my colleague Adam Liptack explains, a set of rulings that generated far less

Please. There's a federal law that says people subject to domestic violence restraining orders. It's a crime for them to have guns.
