U.S. President Joe Biden welcomed the U.S. Supreme Court ruling on Friday that upheld a federal domestic-violence gun ban, and said he would continue to press Congress to strengthen protections for victims of domestic abuse.

"No one who has been abused should have to worry about their abuser getting a gun," Biden said in a statement. "As a result of today's ruling, survivors of domestic violence and their families will still be able to count on critical protections, just as they have for the past three decades."
