Some early commentary on SCOTUS Second Amendment review of federal gun prohibition in Rahimi
In this post, I noted that the Supreme Court in its final order list granted cert review in US v. Rahimi to address (at least) one aspect of how the landmark Bruen Second Amendment case applies to federal firearm possession criminalization. Since that grant, I have seen some new comment on the case, and here is a smattering of those pieces:
From HuffPost, “This Man Is A Suspect In Multiple Shootings. His Case May Decide The Future Of Gun Rights.“
From the Independent, “Should domestic abusers have the right to be armed? The Supreme Court could upend protections for survivors“
From Mother Jones, “A Federal Gun Law Has Protected Domestic Violence Survivors for 30 Years. Now SCOTUS Will Decide Its Fate.“
From Slate, “The Supreme Court’s YOLO Approach to Guns Is About to Face a Major Test“
Some (of many) prior recent related posts:
- New district court opinion “holds that § 922(g)(8) is unconstitutional under Bruen‘s framework”
- Fifth Circuit panel declares unconstitutional federal prohibition on firearm possession for someone subject to domestic violence restraining order
- How long until the Supreme Court takes up another Second Amendment case after Bruen?
- With DOJ asking, will SCOTUS quickly take up a post-Bruen case on gun possession by those subject to DV orders?
