Don't get convicted of domestic abuse and you'll be fine.

I will say sometimes they do need a little pop in the mouth when they get to sassing the head of household. Just a quick little overhand jab. Then that’s where the gun comes in handy because you let em know if they call the cops, it’s curtains.

See that’s how the armed spousal abuser thinks.

Damn! Talk about exercising your 2nd Amendment rights.

I mean, in this case what else would you have the court do? A stern admonishment?

It appeared to me that the opinion was intentionally very narrow and written to allow a future challenge.

1. The use of "intimate" relationship. Hmm, define intimate?

2. Ordered by a court. Does this mean the gun owner must be afforded an opportunity to defend themselves in court before the order?

For a SCOTUS decision, it just seems to make the issue more cloudy.

If you do this kind of shite, you do not need firearms. Or air for that matter.

I presume you're referring to the SCOTS Rahimi ruling.

The background of this case makes it seem like a no brainer. Dude drags his girlfriend to his car, throws her inside, and subsequently fires at someone outside of the car. In this case a protective order was issued and his guns confiscated. Seems rightfully so.

The ruling basically confirmed that personal protective orders are enough for a citizens guns to be confiscated.

Thomas was the lone dissenter here, and he argued that the laws already provide a mechanism to take guns away from dangerous people, and that is an aggravated assault charge. The requirement that a protective order be filed is an unecessary step when there are already laws that allow for confiscation.

This here is another one of those slippery slopes in my opinion. At what point will law enforcement and local judges begin weaponizing this particular ruling? Is it a bridge to far to assume that personal vendettas can cause people to file for a PPO that's ran through the system and functionally disarm a law abiding citizen? What are the guide rails? It doesn't appear there are enough, in my opinion.

Don't get convicted


That's the thing here.. a conviction isn't even necessary for rights to be taken.

A disgruntled woman (or man for that matter), could quite easily file for a PPO, that if granted, rights are taken without there EVER being a trial or conviction. This is left up to a judges whim, and can happen very quickly without due process because the judges often times err on the side of caution and put the onus on the accused.

I am a gun rights advocate, but there has to be some common sense utilized. If someone has demonstrated threatening behavior, and in cases of domestic violence where emotional instability may be at play, they really do not need access to a firearm. Not only for the safety of others but for themselves as well.

You’re seriously over-reacting. Domestic abuse TRO’s are vetted in court. There must be an actual threat.

In many cases I’ve seen, there is good reason to believe a pissed off spouse or boyfriend would shoot the object of their anger. People get crazy in those cases.

if you are giving threats in a domestic violence issue you would know the person.

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


There are some people who do not need guns. If you are a POS and abusing women you dont get guns.

There are a lot of cases that red flag laws have helped. If it was used in FL it would have prevented the parkland shooting.

And they want to take away his guns for that?

This sounds like a family court problem. Maybe we should work to reform those.

Nope. No fricking way.

It's not a fricking Bill of Needs. We either have those rights, or we don't.

The "if you've done nothing wrong, what are you worried about" argument from these Fudds is amazing to watch.


All you need to do is look around at these Soro DAs in action with Trump.

If you think your rights are going to be respected and justice will be fair to you, you haven't been keeping up with current events.
