Charlie T Waite Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 Hello Michael, Big news just broke minutes ago. The Supreme Court is taking up a new Second Amendment case. This marks the third gun case the court has granted in the last three years and will have huge implications for gun rights in America. Supreme Court Agrees to Review Domestic Violence Restraining Order Gun BanBy Stephen Gutowski The nation's highest court has agreed to hear another Second Amendment case just a year after it handed down a landmark decision that forged a new test for the constitutionality of gun laws. On Friday, the Supreme Court granted review in United States v. Rahimi. In February, a Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals panel ruled the prohibition on owning guns while being subject to a domestic violence restraining order is unconstitutional. The Department of Justice (DOJ) appealed that decision, and now the Court will now take up that same question. The case marks a sustained uptick in the Court's appetite for Second Amendment cases. While the Court has only considered seven major Second Amendment cases, with one being mooted and another being a unanimous per curiam opinion, three of those seven have come in the last three years. With 2022's New York State Rifle and Pistol Association v. Bruen creating a new Second Amendment test the Court will likely have reason to take even more gun cases in the future as circuit splits develop over how to properly apply the new test.
