Today, the Supreme Court of the United States delivered a ruling in the case of US v. Rahimi, upholding the constitutionality of 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(8), which prohibits individuals subject to domestic-violence protective orders from possessing firearms. "This ruling is a monumental step forward in protecting the lives of domestic violence survivors in Texas and beyond. It underscores the necessity of strong legal measures to prevent abusers from accessing firearms, which are too often used to perpetuate violence. Our commitment to providing legal and social services to those in need remains unwavering." -Bronwyn Blake, TAP Chief Legal Officer #SCOTUS #LiveFreeFromAbuse #SupremeCourt #Justice #believesurvivors #domesticviolence #laws #ruling #firearms
