It's pretty simple, and damned scary. A prosecutor tells a judge that someone is accused of a domestic violence offense and could theoretically go after the accuser. A judge could agree and rule - without that person even being convicted of the crime - to strip them of their 2nd Amendment rights.
The whole "innocent until proven guilty" thing goes right out the window.
It's yet another flavor of the 'red flag' laws that have popped up across the country.
Yeah, this is a bad, bad, decision. Besides, any motivated criminal will find another way. I posted this the last time someone posted this story.
Will they take away all of their knives? All of their tools like crowbars? How about their car? Every one of these could be used by an abuser as a weapon. Hell, the car will transport them to the accuser and can be used as a weapon. Why not take that away first?

Because it's all about the guns, and getting people used to the idea that the government has the 'right' to take them from you.
