As the Supreme Court justices race to finish up the current term, they will meet behind closed doors on Thursday to consider whether they should add a blockbuster Second Amendment case to the docket for next term.
The focus is a federal law that bars an individual subject to a domestic violence restraining order from possessing a firearm. It has only been a year since the Supreme Court issued a landmark opinion that marked the broadest expansion of gun rights in a decade. Since then, lower courts have been reconsidering thousands of firearm restrictions. In the case at hand, the conservative-leaning 5th US Circuit Court of Appeals cited the Supreme Court’s New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v.
” Supporters of gun regulations and anti-domestic violence groups have also joined together asking the justices to step in, arguing that the lower court failed to appreciate the significance of “modern efforts to grapple with domestic violence.” In 2019, nearly two-thirds of domestic homicides in the United States were committed with a gun, according to Everytown for Gun Safety.
