This video discusses a brief filed in the U.S. Supreme Court on behalf of Zaki Rahimi challenging the constitutionality of 18 USC 922 G8, which prohibits firearm possession by individuals subject to domestic violence restraining orders. The brief argues that this statute is not consistent with the Second Amendment under the Bruin methodology, emphasizing the lack of historical analogues for such broad disarming measures based solely on civil orders. It highlights that historical remedies for domestic abuse involved different means than firearm prohibition and questions the government's authority to enact such laws.
