John—

Yesterday, I was in the room when the Supreme Court heard oral arguments for the only Second Amendment case this term.

The case is USA v. Rahimi, and the Court’s decision will have widespread consequences. After Zackey Rahimi was convicted of illegally possessing a gun while under a domestic violence protective order, he challenged his conviction, claiming that his Second Amendment rights trump public safety.

Now that the case has reached the Supreme Court, it has the potential to threaten scores of other lifesaving gun laws, putting us all at risk. If the justices uphold the lower court decision in Rahimi, domestic abusers, including those who currently can’t buy firearms because a court has found them to be an active threat to others, may gain unfettered access to guns. We are fighting this possibility every step of the way.
