A lawyer for a Texas man urged the Supreme Court late Tuesday to let stand a lower court opinion that critics say will make it easier for domestic abusers to obtain firearms
The man, Zackey Rahimi, is at the center of the latest Second Amendment case to reach the high court. A federal appeals court ruled in Rahimi’s favor in March. The court held that a federal law that bars an individual subject to a domestic violence restraining order from possessing a firearm is unconstitutional.
“Bruen is less than a year old,” Wright told the justices in Tuesday’s filing. He said that lower courts are “just beginning to grapple” with the decision and that its “recency” is reason enough for the justices to deny the Biden administration’s request. Earlier this month the justices refused to block a local and state ban on assault weapons sales in Illinois, rejecting an emergency request from gun rights advocates and a gun store.
