Weeks after the U.S. Supreme Court agreed to hear a case on whether people under domestic violence restraining orders have the right to possess firearms, lawyers for the U.S. government filed a brief arguing that the Second Amendment doesn’t apply to domestic abusers.
The case involves a Texas man, Zackey Rahimi, charged with illegal gun possession while subject to a domestic violence restraining order after assaulting his girlfriend. Rahimi challenged the law after being charged under it in 2021.
