    Looks like the United States Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit just struck down 18 USC 922(g)(8) which prohibits the subject of a domestic violence restraining order from possessing or obtaining firearms.

    This will be interesting...(to say the least)
    There's nothing civil about this war.

    I didn't know this could be coming so soon, so this is just my first take on it, but I was thinking I'd rather have locked in a few more post-Bruen wins before mixing in the DV element. There might be some people who go weak on this issue when being battered with the "you're pro-DV!" calls.

    I might think differently after having more time to let it percolate in my head.

    I'm okay with this. Guns are easily accessible. If the offender is too dangerous to own a gun, keep them in jail.

    The defendant in this case is decidedly unsympathetic, but there is significant abuse of this statute by parties in domestic disputes and litigation.

    That is pretty much my line of thought.
