The justices will rule on a law denying guns to people under restraining orders.
"I have three in my head. I have one in my right side and one in my left side," said the 45-year-old mother of two, who still requires regular surgeries to manage the injuries.
La'Shea Cretain was shot five times by an ex-boyfriend in 1996. She still carries all of the bullets in her body."I just couldn't believe it," she said of a legal challenge that has reached the U.S. Supreme Court. The justices on Tuesday will hear arguments in the case. The Biden administration and gun safety groups insist the restriction is consistent with tradition, calling it critical to protecting women from their abusers.
"It's almost certain that if the Supreme Court were to completely invalidate this law -- and that the logic of that decision extends to state domestic violence protection laws over firearm removals -- certainly more people are going to die," Roskam said. The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, in a decision last year, sided with Rahimi, concluding the prohibition against gun possession by people subject to restraining orders lacks sufficient historical precedent., the U.S. Supreme Court expanded individual gun rights, saying lower courts should only uphold gun safety laws that have close historical ties to the nation's founding.
Shayla Cretain, left, and mom La'Shea Cretain credit a 30-year-old federal law prohibiting people subject to domestic violence restraining orders from possessing a firearm with saving lives."What the data shows is that when states prohibit people subject to domestic violence protective orders, we see overall reductions in intimate partner homicide, but also bigger reductions in firearm intimate partner homicide," Roskam said.
