The Supreme Court has heard oral arguments in the first major gun related case of its new session, United States v. Rahimi, that could allow individuals accused of domestic violence to possess firearms. Last February, a federal appeals court in Texas ruled that domestic abusers have a constitutional right to own guns, a ruling that could overturn a 30-year-old federal law that permits the disarmament of individuals subject to domestic violence protection orders from possessing firearms. The Supreme Court's decision in United States v. Rahimi has the potential to reshape how domestic violence survivors are protected and to influence the interpretation of other gun laws. Rejecting the lower court's ruling and upholding this law is crucial for the safety and well-being of survivors and their families. Domestic violence protective orders that prohibit firearm possession are a vital tool to protect victims and survivors from further harm. Research shows that armed domestic abusers pose a significant risk to their intimate partners, families, friends, and law enforcement. Allowing abusers to retain access to firearms increases the likelihood of lethal outcomes. Prohibiting domestic abusers from accessing firearms is common-sense, life-saving, and constitutional. This law works–it has served as a critical safety net for those who may not see justice through the criminal justice system. Add your name to this petition to show your support for the safety and well-being of domestic violence survivors.
