The U.S. Supreme Court is considering overturning a law that keeps firearms out of the hands of domestic violence abusers and protects survivors. The potential outcome expected this spring can have significant consequences for community safety. Depending on the scope of the court’s decision, statutory protections and efforts by advocates, providers, law enforcement and others to stem violence and increase community and survivor safety could be at risk.
