In 1997, plaintiff M.S. was issued a domestic-violence complaint and the police seized his five handguns and his firearms purchaser identification card. At a domestic-violence hearing, with the consent of M.S. and his then-wife, the family court entered mutual final restraining orders. Those orders did not refer to the firearms.
