🎉 We're celebrating BIG today. 🎉

SCOTUS affirmed in US v. Rahimi that domestic violence offenders 𝙙𝙤 𝙣𝙤𝙩 have a right to own firearms.

While there is still work to be done, today marks a significant step forward in our work to create a safe place for survivors to exist.

In response to the recent 5th Circuit ruling that #domesticviolence offenders have a constitutional right to possess firearms, our very own Kathryn Jacob explored the intersection of guns and IPV in a column for @dallasnews.

Domestic violence and firearms are a proven lethal mix. Here is our statement in response to the recent Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals ruling.

[The Archway | Domestic Violence Nonprofit @thearchwaytx]

Our next step at this point is to continue the lifesaving work we already do every day. Secondly, we will rally with other domestic violence partner agencies throughout the state, under the guidance of @TexasCouncilFV, and formulate a formal response to move forward.

As Tarrant County’s sole advocacy organization for survivors, the ruling by the 5th Circuit yesterday is disheartening. Our mission is to keep survivors safe and hold offenders accountable; the ruling makes our mission even more challenging.

From academic research and the work we have done for 45+ years in Tarrant County, we know that possession of a firearm by a known domestic violence offender raises the lethality risk of a victim 𝙚𝙭𝙥𝙤𝙣𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙮.
