| 0:44.7 | Good morning, good afternoon and good evening, and welcome to the Tangle podcast, the place we get views from across the political spectrum, some independent thinking, and a little bit of my take. |
| 1:00.4 | I'm your host, Isaac Sall, and on today's episode, we're going to be talking about the United States v. Rahimi, a Supreme Court case where the court just upheld a federal law banning anyone subject to a restraining order for domestic violence from possessing firearms. |
| 1:17.4 | So the Supreme Court basically said that states can impose those laws. |
| 1:21.1 | We're going to talk about exactly what happened, break down some of the arguments and all that good stuff. |
| 1:26.3 | Before you do, though, a quick heads-up. |
| 1:27.8 | We actually have a correction. In an answer to a reader question on Thursday, we referred to a |
| 1:33.5 | disagreement between the Supreme Court's liberal and conservative justices on originalism and |

| 1:50.9 | just to having our brains on autocomplete when reading through that portion of the answer, but somehow |
| 1:55.3 | the entire staff made the same mistake. We regret and are more than a little embarrassed by |
| 2:00.2 | the error. This is our 109th |
| 2:02.7 | correction in Tangles 255-week history and our first correction since June 18th. We track these |
| 2:08.7 | corrections and place them at the top of our podcast in an effort to maximize transparency with |
| 2:13.7 | our listeners. All right, with that out of the way, I only have one other quick note before I pass it to |
