What is the *Bruen* methodology in Second Amendment law?

The *Bruen* methodology, established by the Supreme Court, prioritizes the text of the Second Amendment first and then requires historical analogs to justify modern firearm regulations. This shifts the burden to the government to prove historical precedent for gun control laws.

Which organizations are supporting the Second Amendment in the *Rahimi* case?

Dozens of groups, including the Second Amendment Foundation, Firearms Policy Coalition, Gun Owners of America, Cato Institute, and various law enforcement and public defender organizations, have filed amicus briefs to defend the Second Amendment in *United States v. Rahimi*.

What is 18 U.S.C. 922(g)(8) and why is it being challenged?

18 U.S.C. 922(g)(8) prohibits firearm possession by individuals subject to domestic violence restraining orders. It is being challenged as unconstitutional, with arguments focusing on the lack of historical precedent for such broad disarming without a finding of danger.
