SCOTUS Will Decide Whether Domestic Abusers Can Own Guns

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

58% : On Tuesday, the Supreme Court is set to hear oral arguments in United States v. Rahimi, a case that could dramatically expand gun rights and have deadly consequences for victims of domestic violence.
40% : They say the law does not fit within the historical tradition, which is the precedent the Court established last year when it struck down New York's century-old law limiting the concealed carry of firearms in public.
39% : A grand jury indicted Rahimi on charges of violating the federal law banning him from possessing firearms while under the restraining order.
36% : Undoing the protection of the restraining order law would likely leave states and the criminal-justice system with even fewer tools to help curb domestic abuse.
34% : However, victim advocates stress that the law is one of the few tools survivors have to stop their domestic abusers from further harming them.
