In the gun-ownership case of Zackey Rahimi, the Supreme Court for the first time takes an extensive look at the fallout from its 2022 Bruen decision.
Rep. Lucy McBath speaks at a news conference on gun violence outside the U.S. Capitol on Feb. 8 in Washington, D.C., after the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit ruling in the Rahimi case. Supreme Court cases often come with sympathetic protagonists: longtime devoted partners who want to celebrate their love with marriage, or devout people of faith who say government policies keep them from living out their beliefs.
Gun rights advocates concede the combination of the issue at hand — the universally lauded attempt to protect domestic abuse victims — and an unsympathetic defendant creates a better climate for the government than it sometimes faces at the Supreme Court, especially when the issue is gun control. His brief says the law does not provide adequate due process before suspending someone’s Second Amendment rights. Congress could fix the law, he wrote, but it is not the court’s role to do so.brief never mentions the subject of the case by name. Rahimi, Neily said in an interview, seems to be someone “who you wouldn’t want running around with guns, and I wouldn’t want running around with guns.
Rahimi currently is in jail in Fort Worth awaiting trial on some of the state charges that arose from the alleged assaults. Federal public defender J. Matthew Wright declined to comment on his client’s behalf, but said in a brief to the Supreme Court that the only relevant events in the proceedings are the protective order issued Feb. 5, 2020, and the subsequent discovery of a handgun and a rifle in Rahimi’s room on Jan. 14, 2021.
