    They don’t have to petition. POs have hearings. That IS due process.

    Want to keep your guns? Stop being a dick and present as someone with the self-control that society has decided is required to own one.

      I see we’re intentionally disregarding the civil part being insufficient and the lack of proof being required along with the inconsistencies.

      Want to keep your guns? Stop being a dick and present as someone with the self-control that society has decided is required to own one.

      Want to take away someone’s rights? Provide proof beyond reasonable doubt regarding the guilt of a crime.

        The right to bear arms is a conditional right. One of those conditions is being someone who is capable of responsible ownership. Threatening the safety of another person is a lack of that trait.

          Oh? Was that from the Lost Chapter of the Bill of Rights?

          Threatening the safety of another person is a lack of that trait.

          Then a person should have no difficulty with the assault and/or battery conviction or the significant evidence in support of an ERPO and proving it, justifying the infringement on a right.

          Point to the portion of the 2nd amendment that spells this out.
