The Supreme Court appeared inclined to uphold a U.S. law that bars people who are the subject of domestic-violence restraining orders from possessing firearms.
Gun safety and domestic violence prevention organizations gather outside of the Supreme Court before oral arguments are heard in United States v. Rahimi, Tuesday, Nov. 7, 2023, in Washington. The Supreme Court on Tuesday appeared inclined to uphold a federal statute that forbids people who are the subject of domestic-violence restraining orders from possessing firearms.
The decision has created considerable churn in lower courts, with dozens of gun-control laws declared suspect as a result of the justices’ new test. Prelogar said the court should use the present case — involving a Texas man arrested for possessing guns while the subject of a domestic-violence restraining order — to give more guidance to lower courts. But it was unclear whether the justices had an appetite for that, or were simply looking for a narrow way to resolve the issue at hand.
under a restraining order after a 2019 argument with his girlfriend in a parking lot turned violent. According to court records, Rahimi knocked his ex-girlfriend her to the ground, dragged her back to his car, picked her up and pushed her inside and fired a shot at a bystander. The girlfriend escaped, but Rahimi later called her and threatened to shoot her if she told anyone about the assault.
