⚖ The Constitutional Angle
Rahimi held that when a court finds someone poses a credible threat to another's physical safety, that person may be temporarily disarmed without violating the Second Amendment, grounded in the historical tradition of surety laws and going-armed laws. Rose's present-danger question turns on whether that same authority reaches its facts, which depends on fitting the conduct within that tradition of disarming those who threaten harm.
United States v. Zackey Rahimi 602 U.S. 680 (2024)
Vote: 8-1 · Opinion: Roberts (C.J.)
When an individual has been found by a court to pose a credible threat to the physical safety of another, that individual may be temporarily disarmed consistent with the Second Amendment. 18 U.S.C. §922(g)(8), which bars firearm possession by persons subject to a domestic-violence restraining order containing such a judicial finding, is facially constitutional. The Court grounded the statute in the combined tradition of surety laws and 'going armed' laws, which permitted preventing individuals who threaten physical harm to others from misusing firearms.
