This was a really bad case to bring regarding 2A protection.
The accused is a deeply unsympathetic character with a history of violence.
If the Supremes allow states to deny firearms to those they deem dangerous, then the left-wing states will start figuring out ways to deem all conservatives dangerous.
Domestic abuse restraining orders are not a good judge of whether someone is dangerous because there is no hearing or right of the accused abuser to contest the order. They are granted willy-nilly to anyone who applies for them with no practical judicial review and with no hearing.
This case could effectively remove most 2A protections from all of us.
In Domestic Abuse cases, the man is guilty until proven guilty.................
I am a Marine. To some, we’re all dangerous.
What good is to be armed and be a deterrent to criminals, both private and public sector, if even while being armed you are HARMLESS?
A battered woman can be dead from alot of things-—NOT always a gun.

I am hoping that the Court somehow focuses on the procedural issue side of this case and demands some meaningful judicial review. Something like a very prompt mandatory hearing re the actual facts and history of the alleged abuser.
100%. Once the state is allowed to declare who is dangerous; it is game over. And I don’t want to hear any of that “Oh, that would never happen here!” garbage.
