Does the Constitution ban states from separating domestic abusers from their guns?

The Supreme Court will resolve this question - which affects countless victims - under the Second Amendment this term.

The Supreme Court is set to hear a case that has the potential to “put guns in the hands of domestic abusers.” Oral arguments in U.S. v. Rahimi begin on November 7, with the Court deciding whether 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(8), which prohibits people with domestic violence restraining orders against them from possessing firearms, violates the Second Amendment.

The outcome will undoubtedly affect the safety and security of countless victims, mostly women and children — yet it won’t be decided democratically. Instead, it will come down as a unilateral edict under the Constitution by unelected judges — some of whom have clear ideological agendas and disturbing ties to dark money (think: Justice Clarence Thomas, who wrote the pro-gun lobby decision in Bruen last term).
