Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:32:52 GMT

(CNN) — As the Supreme Court justices race to finish up the current term, they will meet behind closed doors on Thursday to consider whether they should add a blockbuster Second Amendment case to the docket for next term.The focus is a federal law that bars an individual subject to a domestic violence restraining order from possessing a firearm.It has only been a year since the Supreme Court issued a landmark opinion that marked the broadest expansion of gun rights in a decade. Since then, lower courts have been reconsidering thousands of firearm restrictions.In the case at hand, the conservative-leaning 5th US Circuit Court of Appeals cited the Supreme Court’s New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen decision in holding the domestic violence-related gun law unconstitutional, a move that critics say will make it easier for alleged abusers to obtain firearms.Under ordinary circumstances, once the Supreme Court releases a major opinion, they reje...

But that’s what the majority of UK residents think, according to a new survey from polling group Survation.What’s more, almost a third of those surveyed said they think they’ll pay less than they do now.It’s a common misconception that falling inflation equates to falling prices. But the two don’t always go hand in hand.Inflation vs. deflationInflation is the rate at which prices for goods and services across an entire economy are rising over a given period of time. When inflation rises, it means you’ll have to spend more money to buy the same goods and services as you used to.Deflation, in contrast, is when goods and services get cheaper. It means that any money you earn today will stretch even further in the future.China is one of the few countries that’s on the verge of experiencing deflation. Most other countries — wit...
