The NY ruling pretty well resolved the standard for taking the firearms of someone who has mental issues.
The existing law is unconstitutional because there is no due process. A simple request by just about anybody, with no evidence, and no right for the accused to present a defense does not meet the bar of due process.
The judge ruled that the standard for confiscating firearms has to be as high as the standard for involuntarily committing someone or sending them to prison.
