So a persons 2nd amendment rights are suspended under a restraining order?

Yup. Remember that was the crux of the Emerson case: A TRO forbidding the possession of firearms and ammunition EVEN in the absence of a specific finding that there's a threat. Ridiculous.

Another victimless crime.

Yep! And isn't a TRO pretty much routine in divorce proceedings these days?

Do you know what the status of the Emerson case is? I know in ‘04 that the 5th circuit upheld his conviction, but I can’t find any info on whether it was appealed to the SC or not and what may have happened there.

Actually the TRO need not specifically forbid the possession of arms, it's in the law, the Lautenberg amendment to be precise. I've never heard that Lautenberg applies to ammunition as well. With no guns, what are you going to do, throw it at her (or him, the law applies to women too if they have the TRO against them).
