ICYMI: United States v. Rahimi
Revisit our recent two-part series on the upcoming Supreme Court case whose decision could have a major impact on mitigating gun-related domestic violence.
We recently invited Caroline Light — the Director of Undergraduate Studies in Harvard’s Program in Studies of Women, Gender, and Sexuality — to lay out for us the history of and potential deadly consequences from the upcoming Supreme Court decision on the United States v. Rahimi case.
We ran her two-part series a couple weeks ago as the decision is forthcoming on the case. As Light states in Part 1 though, “the case has received scant attention, in part because there are so many other high-stakes cases on the Supreme Court docket. But Rahimi carries substantial weight in multiple registers: The Court’s decision could have grave consequences for efforts to mitigate gun-related intimate partner violence (IPV) and domestic violence (DV).”
Hence we thought it important to revisit Light’s essays:
Part 1: The Path to Rahimi - a Timeline
Part 2: Lessons From Rahimi: When it Comes to Gun Violence, the Personal is Still Political
