BULLET DODGED: MAJOR SUPREME COURT 2ND AMENDMENT DECISION ISSUED IN RAHIMI
The US Supreme Court ruled in United States v. Rahimi that federal law prohibiting individuals subject to domestic violence restraining orders from possessing firearms is facially constitutional, provided the order includes a finding that the individual poses a credible threat to the physical safety of an intimate partner. The decision upholds the Bruen methodology, emphasizing textual and historical analysis over interest balancing, and clarifies that the term 'responsible citizens' in prior rulings is not a prerequisite for Second Amendment rights. The court also highlighted the temporary nature of such firearm prohibitions.
