Summary
The Supreme Court will weigh in on gun rights once more in the coming months in the case of a 23-year-old Texas man named Zackey Rahimi.
His case challenges a federal law that's been around for nearly two decades that strips gun ownership rights from people under domestic violence protection orders.
How should the high court regulate who gets access to guns? And how might the outcome of the case shape gun rights as we know them?
