At my county coroner�s office, I regularly review cases of murdered women. They are victims of domestic violence, overwhelmingly ones shot to death by ex-husbands, ex-boyfriends or other men they knew. The Supreme Court is now poised to decide whether to put guns more easily into the hands of these abusers-turned-murderers, which would enshrine domestic violence as a warped historical privilege of the U.S. Constitution. Or the Court can make the lifesaving and legally sound decision and protect people such as the murder victims�mothers, daughters and children�I see in those case files. |

No, they should not. Their only power is to adjudicate what the US Constitution says. All of their decisions need to be based ONLY on what is in the Constitution. Nothing else, at all, ever.
The US Constitution says that the right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. "Infringed" is a very specific word, containing the word "fringe," meaning the very outside edge of the thing in question. To infringe something is to just barely cross the threshold of that thing.
There is a reason the founders used this word specifically. No one in government should attempt to approach the outermost extreme of limiting a person's right to keep and bear arms. To do so is to infringe that right, which is specifically prohibited.
