Durbin, Members of Congress File Amicus Brief Opposing Legal Challenge To Federal Law Prohibiting Domestic Violence Offenders from Possessing Firearms

Press Release

"The Supreme Court's decision in Bruen has caused chaos in lower courts. The new radical framework established in Bruen has enabled judges to cherry-pick from history and overturn statutes on a whim. Now, even the most common sense gun safety laws are in question, such as prohibiting gun possession by domestic violence offenders. Our ask from the Court here is direct: set a clear standard that allows Congress to pass laws to protect public safety, consistent with our Constitutional powers."
