When someone gets slapped with a domestic violence restraining order, they temporarily lose their Second Amendment rights. The argument is that they're a probable danger to at least one person, and since a judge signs off on the order, that's sufficient due process.
Now, I don't agree with that, simply because too many judges will sign such orders as a matter of form. They're often concerned that if they don't sign it, and the woman gets murdered by her allegedly abusive ex, it'll be on him.
It seems that a judge in Idaho agrees with me that it's unconstitutional to strip someone of their rights based mostly on allegations.
Unfortunately for that judge and me, a federal judge disagreed with us.
