United States v. Rahimi Case: Second Amendment Rights and Domestic Violence
The recent United States v. Rahimi case highlighted the debate on whether individuals with domestic violence restraining orders should have access to firearms. In a reversal of the court's prior ruling, the court decided that Rahimi, a domestic violence abuser, cannot possess a gun. This case exposed the flaws in the conservative embrace of originalism, where the court's reasoning led to a 'dumb place' according to the hosts. Despite the correct outcome, the case demonstrated the impracticality and shortcomings of applying originalist principles.
