WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Ben Cardin (D-Md.), Chair of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, today released the following statement in response to the U.S. Supreme Court decision for U.S. v. Rahimi: 

“The Supreme Court’s decision to uphold the law banning domestic violence abusers from owning guns is a victory in the fight for gun safety and for survivors of domestic abuse. Keeping guns out of the hands of those with a record of violence saves lives. This is a step in the right direction, but there is more work we can and must do to implement commonsense gun safety policies and keep more families across the country safe.”
