US Gun Violence in the Spotlight: Supreme Court Rules Federal Law Can Ban Gun Ownership for Domestic Abusers

Reported 8 months ago

Amid frequent gun violence in the US, the issue of gun control has gained attention. The US Supreme Court upheld a federal law on June 21 that prohibits those under domestic violence restraining orders from owning guns, with President Biden's administration and gun control advocates welcoming the ruling. The decision overturned a lower court ruling and stemmed from a case involving Zackey Rahimi in Texas, who violated the law by possessing guns while under a restraining order after attacking his girlfriend. The ruling is seen as an important measure to protect public safety and domestic violence survivors, particularly women.
