  1. The pending decision by the Supreme Court should put chills down the backs of every domestic violence victim. If they decide in favor of Rahimi, abusers cannot be disarmed, even if there is a restraining order against them.

    Nevertheless, the Fifth Circuit didn’t just strike down this law. It ruled that the law is unconstitutional on its face. That means that, if the Fifth Circuit’s decision is upheld by the Supreme Court, this federal ban on firearm possession by domestic abusers may never be applied to any individual, no matter how violent that individual may be and no matter how careful the court that issued a restraining order against such an individual was in ensuring that they received due process.

    Evie Hudak, among others, promoted laws that prohibited abusers from owning guns in Colorado. Red flag laws have been upheld,  even if inconsistently enforced. All of this could be called into question if SCOTUS decides abusers are constitutionally entitled to firearms.

    Had it been in place in the early 90s, I would likely have been another statistic.

    1. That is a given. He did send out a letter with all these deadlines to the GOP conference as part of his campaign for speaker.

      It appeared to be wishful thinking.

      1. Yeah, his letter was sweet, but the underlying assumption is that Democrats must vote in favor of the complete GOP agenda, starting with supporting Putin’s defense of Russian territory formerly known as “Ukraine”.
