Last year, #SCOTUS rewrote constitutional law about #guncontrol.

Now, the same justices will hear a case defining the limits of their decision calling for judges to use history to decided what regulations are legal.

At issue: can gun be taken away from domestic abusers?

"Domestic violence" was not an issue in the 18th century, but there were laws against going about armed “to the fear and terror of any person."

@joeinwynnewood They take themselves to be living in 1791, the year the #2A was ratified. Then they woodenly interpret all English and American laws that restricted gun ownership on grounds that a person posed a danger to others as irrelevant to what the drafters and ratifiers of the 2A intended it to mean. See pp. 14-21 in the opinion: https://assets.nationbuilder.com/firearmspolicyfoundation/pages/3970/attachments/original/1675361904/United_States_v_Rahimi_Opinion.pdf #USvRahimi #LawFedi #ViolenceAgainst Women #Guns #DomesticViolence #Patriarchy #Misogyny
This 5th Circuit ruling that history requires that domestic abusers get access to guns says the quiet part out loud: the current Supreme Court's jurisprudence pretty much says that every form of subordination and oppression that was permitted when a constitutional provision was adopted must be allowed today.
