The U.S. Supreme Court is set to determine whether a federal law that prohibits individuals under domestic violence court orders from possessing firearms will be upheld. The case in question, United States v. Rahimi, involves a defendant who violated a restraining order by allegedly threatening to shoot another woman and discharging firearms in public. The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals previously ruled in the defendant's favor, which could invalidate the existing federal law if upheld. Gun safety advocates argue that allowing individuals like Rahimi to possess firearms would lead to increased violence against survivors of domestic violence. Studies show that firearms are the most common weapons used in domestic violence homicides, with female intimate partners more likely to be killed by guns than by any other means combined. The Supreme Court's decision on this issue will have significant implications for the safety and protection of survivors of domestic abuse.
