New York Attorney General Letitia James on Tuesday took action to defend a federal law that prevents persons under a domestic violence restraining order from accessing guns.
Joining a coalition of 25 attorneys general to file an amicus brief in the United States Supreme Court in the case of United States v. Rahimi, James urged the court to preserve this critical tool meant to protect survivors of domestic abuse.
The case involves Zackey Rahimi, who was under a domestic violence restraining order for assaulting his girlfriend, and was, therefore, barred from possessing guns.
