US v. Rahimi: Does the 2nd Amendment Permit Gun Bans in Cases of Domestic Violence?

In this interview, Professor Jody Madeira answers the question, "Is It Constitutional to Take Awat Guns from Someone Accused of Domestic Violence?" Prof. Madeira shares insights on the existing law, the case about DV and the 2nd Amendment now pending at the Supreme Court, and how the process works on the ground.

Professor Madera explains that while federal law (18 USC Section 922 G8) has long prohibited individuals under domestic violence restraining orders from possessing firearms, this established law is now being challenged in the Supreme Court case, United States vs. Rahimi. The outcome of this case could significantly alter the current balance between Second Amendment rights and protections for domestic violence victims.
