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

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.

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

One of those conditions is being someone who is capable of responsible ownership.

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.
