Yesterday, a Texas federal judge struck down 922(g)(8) while saying that "[t]his Court's opinion says nothing about whether a state court could remove someone's guns through conditions of release or a restraining order." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco… 
"But if the Second Amendment can be read separate from the First as the Government argues, the history of disarming someone because of political allegiance oaths could be used to justify disarming political dissidents today."
"Another problem is that § 922(g)(8) prohibits possession of a gun even if the state court order doesn't. Indeed, § 922(g)(8) does not require that the court order prohibit possessing a gun."
