It's generally understood that many divorce lawyers will use any and every edge to get a "win" in the proceedings. What better thing to use for leverage than an "Extreme Risk Protection Order" filed by one of the two parties, likely the wife, at the behest of a lawyer looking for that win? Sure would gain some sympathy from some judges who might not be so 2A friendly in the first place. I understand the INTENT of the thing, but again, it would seem just too easy for abuse.
As an Army officer, I was tasked to supervise one of my senior sergeants as he moved out of his house due to divorce. In my own case, I have no doubt that my ex would have employed the ERPO option, had it been available. I see no way to implement this as proposed without trampling on Constitutionally protected rights. It seems to me that existing law is sufficient.
