This domestic abuse case could shape how courts interpret the Second Amendment right to defend oneself with a firearm.
When detectives went looking for Zackey Rahimi at his family home in Kennedale, Texas, on Jan. 14, 2021, they didn’t find him. Rahimi, whom authorities suspected was a drug dealer who had been involved in a handful of recent shootings, had already been arrested on charges of aggravated assault with a firearm in a separate case out of nearby Fort Worth.
Rahimi, by contrast, has an extensive list of allegations against him involving guns and violence, some of which have not been previously reported. For the courts to conclude that his right to a gun deserves more urgent protection than the woman who asked a judge to keep her and her child safe raises the chilling prospect that it could become all but impossible to take guns from any abuser.
Court filings and police records, however, describe a violent drug dealer who threatened to shoot at least two women with firearms and repeatedly opened fire in public over a three-month period that ended with his arrest. Over the next three months, Rahimi allegedly fired guns in public at least five times, according to court filings and police records. Police say he shot into someone’s home with an AR-15 over social media comments. After a car crash, he allegedly shot at the other driver, left, came back, then shot at them again. A few days later, he allegedly fired a gun in public again, this time in front of kids in a residential neighborhood.
