So, let me get this straight. An ex-girlfriend can go before a judge, make some accusations and get a restraining order against a guy, and this process immediately strips him of the right to possess ammunition which he legally purchased?

Yes, this is a result of the Lautenberg Amendment to the "Protection From Violence Against Women Act"(or some such name) a few years back. It was a vicious little poison pill Sen. Frank Lautenberg-NJ inserted to expand the scope of the existing restrictions on felons possessing guns to include even potential or alleged domestic violence against women. It's flatly unconstitutional, but as we all know that means absolutely nothing to our selfless public servants these days.

Did I get moved to the USSR as I slept?

No, while all Americans have slept for decades our leaders have gradually imported, adopted and infused the essence of the Soviet Union into this country. The resulting cancer has already metasticized and the prognosis is not good.

It sounds like some NRA lawyers need to make this into a court case. He is literally stripped of an enumerated Constitutional right on the simple accusations of one person. He has no opportunity to defend himself against the accusations.

That law makes it flat simple to disarm anyone at all. One need only persuade a judge to issue a restraining order, and that's it.

If a constitutional lawyer can't get that law thrown out, he's not worth his paycheck.

America and Britain won the battles of WWII.
The National Socialists are winning the War.
Thanks to the Labour and Democratic Parties.
