The Supreme Court on Friday agreed to consider if people accused of domestic violence have a right to own firearms in a case that will test the scope of the high court's Second Amendment ruling from last summer.
The justices agreed to hear a Biden administration appeal in defense of a federal law that blocks people subject to domestic violence restraining orders from possessing a firearm.A Texas-based man, Zackey Rahimi, is appealing his conviction of violating that federal law, arguing the Supreme Court landmark decision in New York Rifle & Pistol Assn. v. Bruen means the federal law also violates the Second Amendment.
Last year's decision struck down a decades-old New York law that limited who may obtain a license to carry a handgun in public. The 6-3 court also held that gun regulations should be"consistent with this nation's historical tradition of firearm regulation." The high court's new test set off a range of lawsuits by states and gun control advocates to find historical antecedents to modern-day gun regulations. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit sided with Rahimi, finding the law was a historical"outlier that our ancestors would never have accepted."Rahimi was involved in five shootings around the Arlington area from late 2020 to early 2021.
