The Supreme Court announced Wednesday it will hear a major Second Amendment case in November.
The Supreme Court announced Wednesday it will hear in November oral arguments in a much-watched case over whether individuals under domestic violence restraining orders can possess firearms.Zackey Rahimi received a domestic violence restraining order after an ex-girlfriend accused him of assault. He was suspected of involvement in a series of shootings around Arlington, Texas, when officers swooped in with a search warrant and found a rifle and a pistol in his home.Mr.
The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals rejected his challenge, but after the Supreme Court issued its 2022 ruling in New York Rifle and Pistol Association v. Bruen, Mr. Rahimi renewed his challenge and the 5th Circuit reversed its decision. In the Bruen case, the high court said any law restricting gun possession must be consistent with the nation’s history and tradition on firearms dating back to the country’s founding.
The circuit judges said the situation would have been different had Mr. Rahimi been convicted of a violent crime. They said a restraining order doesn’t preclude Mr. Rahimi from the constitutional right to bear arms.
