Indiana high court OKs restriction on right to bear arms
The Indiana Supreme Court unanimously agreed Tuesday that Hoosiers convicted of misdemeanor domestic violence can be prohibited from possessing a gun for at least five years.
In its 5-0 ruling, the state's high court rejected the claim that an Indiana law temporarily stripping domestic abusers of their 2nd Amendment and separate state right to bear arms is an unconstitutional additional punishment……….
……… weighing of the punitive effects is not needed to justify the gun restriction, because courts consistently have upheld the Legislature's authority to deprive numerous constitutional rights to Hoosiers convicted of crimes as a "collateral consequence" of their actions, including the right to vote and sit on a jury.”
