Ruth Glenn, a domestic violence survivor, speaks with The Associated Press as she discusses a case before the Supreme Court that is focused on a law aiming to keep guns out of the hands of abusers, in Washington, Monday, Oct. 23, 2023. Glenn is the president of the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence.
Glenn, the president of Survivor Justice Action, is allied with gun control groups that are backing the Biden administration's defense of the law. Firearms are the most common weapon used in homicides of spouses, intimate partners, children or relatives in recent years, according to data from the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Guns were used in more than half, 57%, of those killings in 2020, a year that saw an overall increase in domestic violence during the coronavirus pandemic.
Rahimi’s case reached the Supreme Court after prosecutors appealed a ruling that threw out his conviction for possessing guns while subject to a restraining order. Rahimi’s case, and the subject of domestic violence may offer the government the optimal situation for defending gun restrictions, said Hashim Mooppan, a former Justice Department official in the Trump administration.
