That’s the thing, this isn’t even criminal. It’s the second someone files an order of protection. Why do you lose rights before court?


It is not even confined to an order of protection. It is wide open to discretion.

I don’t either. However my brother in law is going thru this right now in a divorce. His wife cleared his bank and went to the police dept and filed an OP. The TRO will be over turned, however he’s never been arrested and it was simply by her going to a non profit and them filing it with the court with no evidence.

Yeah that opened my eyes quite a bit someone can make an allegation, the burden is then on them in liberal courts where there is literally no evidence.

We can agree that far too much deference is given to women in such situations.

So OP, do you feel that someone who has a domestic violence restraining order (usually due to threats or acts of violence) should have a gun to commit violence against the person who needed the restraining order?

Are you innocent until proven guilty or guilty with rights taken without due process?

Kavanaugh's concurrence is worth a read on the Court's analysis.

Second Amendment absolutists should not read Barrett's, it starts with:

Despite its unqualified text, the Second Amendment is not absolute. It codified a pre-existing right, and preexisting limits on that right are part and parcel of it.

If they've committed domestic violence they should be locked up, after a trial

This idea that the government will somehow keep you safe is stupid, if someone is hell bent on killing you a restraining order isn't going to stop them

This will only continue to be a weapon used by bitter partners to gain leverage in a divorce

How about we add one caveat to it, if the allegation cannot be substantiated then the accuser goes to jail for 1 year

I believe if a person is violent, that person must be incarcerated. I believe if you are threatened, you are responsible for dealing with your threat.

I do not believe, because someone I do not even know, my right to own a gun suddenly becomes ambiguous because another can simply claim I threatened them.

Yep. It’s basically red flag laws on crack.

Terrible decision by the court

The 4 person appeals court ruled unanimously that while the attempt to keep guns out the hands of abusers was well-meaning, it was unconstitutional.

How the supposedly conservative Supreme Court majority went the other way is beyond me. The government argued a precedent being guns being taken from British loyalists. It's ridiculous.

Ambiguity is the wettest of dreams for lawyers everywhere. Today is their happy day.

Leeches gonna be sucking hard going forward.

I guess I’m missing your assertion about the lawyers. Exactly what are you insinuating about lawyers having a heyday with this moving forward?

A domestic violence restraining order, yes. I don't have a problem with that.


In general, I don't either.

But that's also assuming we have an unbiased and politically neutral judiciary making decisions on these situations.....that doesn't exist in America today.

Because only one of them actually understands the Second Amendment.

Justice Clarence Thomas dissented

The presumption against restrictions on keeping and bearing firearms is a central feature of the Second Amendment. That Amendment does not merely narrow the Government’s regulatory power. It is a barrier, placing the right to keep and bear arms off limits to the Government.
