On Oct. 25, from noon-1 p.m. CDT, Nashville YWCA will host the next installment in its Stand Against Injustice series. The webinar — "Are Domestic Violence Abusers Guaranteed Guns?" — will cover the historical context and possible ramifications of an upcoming case. Next month, the U.S. Supreme Court will begin hearing oral arguments in United States v. Rahimi. A decision earlier this year by the U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that individuals subject to orders of protection must be allowed to keep their guns. The decision overturned a federal statute prohibiting firearm possession by individuals determined to pose a credible threat to the safety of an intimate partner or child. National domestic violence organizations, including YWCA USA, have filed amicus briefs explaining why that decision endangers the lives of women.
