Under New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen (2022), a gun law is typically unconstitutional unless similar laws existed in the framing era. Now there is a new case in front of the US Supreme Court: United States v. Rahimi. The specific question before the Supreme Court is whether 18 U.S.C. 922(g)(8), which prohibits the possession of firearms by persons subject to domestic violence restraining orders, violates the Second Amendment on its face. The case presents an interesting aspect of the Second Amendment because when you take the historical record into consideration, there were no bans on gun ownership by domestic abusers in 1791.

Join this dynamic webinar to hear from the experts on the Second Amendment and New Jersey Gun Law. New Jersey has some of the strictest gun laws in the country. Join us for this webcast and gain a deeper insight into the state's firearms rules, regulations, and requirements, which is critical when representing clients seeking to purchase guns or to defend against weapons crimes charges.
