... So, removing guns from abusers is based on a mental illness. Trump judge follows the Supreme Court, ergo. You can't take guns from men who have a protective order on them. Because guns don't beat up and kill their wives, people do. And giving them a gun just cuts to the case faster.

As for the Judge's justification. Following the rules set by the Supreme Court, there were no such laws or requirements for this in colonial times. (Yes, that is our new Supreme Court.)
