Supreme Court Hears Arguments in US v. Rahimi Today, Balancing Gun Rights and Due Process - The Truth About Guns

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

59% : U.S. v. Rahimi may be the limiting case for gun rights, identifying the stopping point of the recent changes in Second Amendment doctrine.
57% : Historians have presented evidence that there were widespread laws and practices during the early republic limiting gun possession by individuals, like Rahimi, who were judged to be dangerous.
57% : If so, the ruling will likely uphold Rahimi's conviction and limit gun rights.
57% : On the other hand, if the court reads those historical standards as more narrow and specific than the contemporary ban on gun possession while under a restraining order, those limits will be struck down.
51% : That's the question posed in one of the biggest cases of the current Supreme Court term, focused on the limits of individual gun rights, which will be argued before the justices today.
40% : The court will decide whether the federal law prohibiting the possession of firearms by someone subject to a domestic violence restraining order violates the Second Amendment.
