Justices Hear Case on Domestic Abusers & Gun Access
1 hour, 33 minutesThe Supreme Court heard oral argument in a case on whether people under domestic violence protective orders can have guns. Currently, under federal law this is prohibited. In 2020 a Texas court issued a two-year order and revoked the gun license of Zackey Rahimi. Ms. C.M. requested it after a 2019 incident where he allegedly threatened her and pushed her inside a car. Also, Mr. Rahimi allegedly fired his gun at a witness. After this incident he reportedly continued making gun threats against Ms. C.M. After the order was in place, police investigated multiple shootings with Mr. Rahimi as the suspect. Police searched and found guns in his home. Mr. Rahimi was prosecuted for violating the federal statute banning guns while under a domestic violence order. Mr. Rahimi claimed his Second Amendment rights were violated. The federal government disagreed and argued they met the burden of proof to regulate gun access of domestic abusers. The Supreme Court has through June 2024 to issue a ruling.
