Case No. 23-0970

In re N.S.

N.S., who lost his firearm rights after a civil commitment when he was a juvenile in 2006, appeals from the denial of his request for relief from disabilities under Iowa Code section 724.31. N.S. argues the district court erred in denying the requested relief where he provided the required evidence that showed by the preponderance of the evidence that he would not be a threat to himself or others and where the record did not show that he posed any risk. N.S. also argues the district court erred in failing to determine that a strict scrutiny analysis required granting the request for relief where no evidence in the record showed that he is a risk to himself or others.
