United States v. Rahimi

This is a Supreme Court opinion from June 21, 2024, addressing the constitutionality of 18 U.S.C. §922(g)(8), which restricts firearm possession for individuals subject to domestic violence restraining orders. The Court, referencing prior Second Amendment cases Heller and Bruen, holds the statute constitutional, finding it consistent with historical traditions of disarming individuals posing credible threats. The majority opinion emphasizes the need for "historical analogues," not exact historical matches, while dissenting justices argue the statute lacks sufficient historical support and infringes on the Second Amendment right. Several concurring opinions elaborate on the application of historical analysis within Second Amendment jurisprudence.
