Yes, Rahimi was a shitbag. It is why the DOJ pushed this case forward. The ruling is bad though, it gives the anti-2a community leverage since the Judges ruled that historical "surety bonds" are enough of an analog to satisfy Bruen

Is anyone really surprised? People hate domestic abusers, nobody is gonna rule in their favor. Surprised Thomas was brave enough to dissent.

The ruling isn't that narrow. It applies to anyone deemed a be "credible threat to the physical safety of another", regardless of whether they are ever charged or even accused of a crime. It's another unconstitutional restriction on the 2A. If someone is such a threat to society they need to be disarmed, then they're too big of a threat to walk freely among us. If you can't make and prove the case for that before a jury, fuck off.
