So it sounds like we agree and the question is whether the VAWA (which also applies to men, FWIW), domestic violence restraining orders, and red flag laws that temporarily restrict a persons ability to exercise their 2nd Amendment rights meets a compelling state interest by the least restrictive means.Yes, exactly. The highest possible scrutiny. The law is patently invalid otherwise. At least you didn't bring up the "you can't yell fire in a theater" myth.
I think the most complaints I've seen, at least that have any merit, is concern about procedural due process rights of the subject of the court order in question. Maybe it should be necessary to give notice and have a hearing before an order is issued, instead of one granted ex parte, but that certainly makes it hard for red flag laws to be effective in anyway. I wonder what kind of process that someone alleged to be mentally unfit to safely possess firearms should be given?
I'm not arguing, just thinking.
