In the case of Garland v. Gonzalez, the Supreme Court held that a federal statute prohibiting individuals convicted of misdemeanor domestic violence from possessing firearms was not unconstitutionally vague. The petitioner argued that because the definition of “misdemeanor crime of domestic violence” did not include any mens rea requirement, it was too broad and could be applied to conduct which would otherwise be considered innocent or non-violent. However, in an 8-1 decision written by Justice Kavanaugh, the court found that Congress had provided sufficient clarity for people to understand what conduct is prohibited under this law and thus rejected this argument as well as other constitutional challenges raised by petitioners. Ultimately, they concluded that Congress had acted within its authority when enacting this statute and affirmed its constitutionality.
