Gavin Newsom Urges Supreme Court \u2064to Uphold Federal Law on Domestic Violence and Firearms<\/h2>\n<p>Gov. \u200dGavin Newsom (D-CA) is taking \u2062a stand\u200d to protect victims of domestic violence by urging the Supreme Court \u2062to uphold \u2063a federal law that prevents individuals under domestic \u200dviolence restraining\u200c orders from owning firearms. In\u2062 a recent amicus brief filed in the \u2063case of United States v. Rahimi, Newsom \u200bexpressed his \u200dsupport for the law after the Biden administration appealed a previous decision \u200dthat deemed the law unconstitutional under the Second \u2063Amendment.<\/p>\n<h3>Protecting Victims \u200cand Upholding the Constitution<\/h3>\n<p>Newsom firmly believes that domestic abusers should not have access\u200b to guns and that gun safety laws are not only constitutional but also align with long-standing historical tradition. He emphasizes that the Second Amendment should not be interpreted as a suicide pact and \u200dcalls on the Supreme Court to reverse the lower court&#8217;s decision.<\/p>\n<h3>Challenging Erroneous Reasoning<\/h3>\n<p>In his amicus \u200cbrief, Newsom argues that the 5th Circuit used flawed reasoning when interpreting and applying the landmark \u200ddecision of New York State Rifle &#038; Pistol\u200d Ass&#8217;n\u2062 v. Bruen. He points out that\u200d the court failed\u2063 to follow the\u200c instruction provided by Bruen, which\u200c states that historical statutes only require a &#8220;historical analogue&#8221; \u2063rather than an exact \u200dreplica. Newsom highlights the confusion and disregard for this\u2063 nuanced approach exhibited by multiple \u200bcourts.<\/p>\n<h3>The Impact of the \u2064Bruen Case<\/h3>\n<p>The Bruen \u200dcase had significant implications \u2062for gun laws across the nation, \u2062resulting\u2062 in \u200cthe overturning of numerous gun\u200c regulations. Justice Clarence Thomas authored the \u200c6-3 decision, which struck down New York&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/newsom-calls-on-supreme-court-to-uphold-ban-on-domestic-abusers-owning-guns\/\" title=\"Newsom urges Supreme Court to maintain ban on domestic abusers owning guns.\">restrictive concealed carry \u2064permit regime<\/a>. This ruling had far-reaching consequences and\u2062 set the stage for further debates on gun regulations.<\/p>\n<h3>The Case \u2064of \u200bZackey Rahimi<\/h3>\n<p>The 5th Circuit ruling\u2064 revolves around\u2062 Zackey Rahimi, a criminal defendant charged with violating a federal statute that criminalizes\u2064 the possession of a firearm\u2062 under a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/federal-gun-law-used-in-hunter-biden-case-voided-by-appeals-court\/\" title=\"Appeals court nullifies federal gun law in Hunter Biden case.\">domestic\u2063 violence restraining order<\/a>. Rahimi&#8217;s attorneys are seeking \u2062to challenge this statute at the Supreme Court, which could have widespread implications for\u200c <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/washington-appeals-court-unanimously-strikes-down-local-gun-control-law\/\" title=\"Washington Appeals Court Unanimously Strikes Down Local Gun-Control\u00a0Law\">similar cases nationwide<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>A Plea to Preserve the Federal \u200dStatute<\/h3>\n<p>Newsom&#8217;s amicus brief joins a chorus of voices from \u200bpro-gun control groups urging the Supreme\u2064 Court to\u2063 uphold the federal statute and\u200b reject the lower\u200c court&#8217;s \u200cdecision. The\u200b Global\u200d Action on Gun Violence \u200calso filed a brief, calling for the preservation of the\u200c statute and the reversal of\u2063 previous \u2064gun-related decisions.<\/p>\n<h3>Debate and Differing \u200cPerspectives<\/h3>\n<p>On \u2064the other side \u200dof\u2062 the spectrum, \u2064<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/dark-money-free-speech-addressed-by-h-r-1\/\" title=\"Dark money, free speech addressed by H.R.1?\">pro-gun groups<\/a> like \u2062Gun Owners of\u2062 America support \u2063the 5th Circuit decision, arguing that the statute unfairly disarms individuals who have not been convicted of\u2064 a crime. They believe that if someone poses a danger to society, they should be\u200c incarcerated rather than stripped\u200c of their Second Amendment rights.<\/p>\n<p>The Supreme Court is set to \u200chear arguments\u2062 in this case in the coming months, with a decision expected in June of next year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gov.
