The Supreme Court invalidated a Hawaii law Thursday that barred the possession of guns on private property without the owner’s consent, the latest in a series of rulings that expanded federal gun rights.
The 6-3 decision from the justices follows a high court ruling from four years ago that expanded federal gun rights outside the home. The majority opinion, written by Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr., found the state law infringed on the Second Amendment rights of gun owners.
