The Supreme Court heard oral argument in a case on whether people under domestic violence protective orders can have guns, currently prohibited under federal law. In 2020 a Texas court issued a two-year order and revoked the gun license of Zackey Rahimi after his then-girlfriend requested it in response to a 2019 incident in which he allegedly threatened and pushed her inside a car, and fired his gun at a witness. After this incident, he reportedly continued making gun threats her. After the order was in place, police investigated multiple shootings with Mr. Rahimi as the suspect. Police searched and found guns in his home. Mr. Rahimi was prosecuted for violating the federal statute banning guns while under a domestic violence order. Mr. Rahimi claimed his Second Amendment rights were violated. The federal government disagreed and argued they met the burden of proof to regulate gun access of domestic abusers. close
