Texas Man at Center of Supreme Court Case Says He No Longer Wants Guns

Zackey Rahimi, the man at the center of a major Supreme Court gun rights case, has stated in a handwritten letter from jail that he no longer wishes to own firearms. Rahimi, who is challenging a federal law that bars individuals subject to domestic violence restraining orders from possessing a firearm, expressed remorse for his actions and vowed to stay away from drugs, abide by the law, and focus on his education and career. Despite Rahimi's letter, gun rights advocates acknowledge that he is not an ideal representative for the Second Amendment. Rahimi, who faces multiple gun-related charges, is accused of participating in several shootings after being prohibited from carrying weapons under a domestic violence protective order. However, his case could potentially expand gun rights protections by challenging the federal law in question. While supporters of gun rights recognize the drawbacks of Rahimi's involvement, they view his case as an opportunity for the conservative majority Supreme Court to reexamine Second Amendment rights following a landmark decision in the previous year.
