Rahimi Review

February 9, 2023

Last week’s opinion in United States v. Rahimi found that a federal law, criminalizing the possession of a firearm by someone under a domestic-violence restraining order, violated the Second Amendment’s protection of a right to bear arms.

The Attorney General plans to seek review. The perspective of a Dallas-based operator of a women’s shelter appears in this Fox 4 news story on the case. I recently wrote an op-ed about the opinion in the Dallas Morning News. A flavor of the national  commentary about the case can be obtained from these representative articles in Slate and Reason.
