In re N.S.

Summary

The court affirmed the denial of N.S.'s petition to restore firearm rights after an involuntary mental-health commitment. It held that N.S. failed to prove by a preponderance of the evidence that he was no longer likely to act dangerously or that restoration would not be contrary to the public interest. The court also held that Iowa's firearm-restoration statute applies prospectively to the restoration proceeding, survives strict scrutiny, and does not require shifting the burden of proof to the State.
