United States v. Hemani
2025 Term · 24-1234
Rahimi upheld the federal law prohibiting gun possession by persons subject to domestic violence restraining orders, clarifying that Bruen's historical tradition test does not require a precise historical twin but rather a 'relevantly similar' analogue. Both sides cite Rahimi to support their competing interpretations of how strictly the government must match historical precedent.
