U.S. Supreme Court to hear Mainers’ appeal on gun ban for domestic violence convictions
In a case that will hinge on intent, a lawyer for the two men will argue that their guilty pleas for hitting their partners shouldn't bar them from owning guns.

The U.S. Supreme Court will hear the appeal of a gun case from Maine that is likely to turn on a very narrow point of law.
Two Maine men who pleaded guilty to domestic violence and later were found to possess guns said a federal law barring gun ownership by convicts shouldn’t apply to them because their conduct was reckless and not intentional.
