I believe you’re referring to the Lautenberg Amendment (act):
The Lautenberg Amendment, or act is an act presented and made law in 1996 that amended the Gun Control act of 1968 by senate and the house of representatives commonly known as Section 658 0f Public Law 104-208. The Amendment is now law that persons convicted of even a misdemeanor crime of Domestic Violence, or that are the Respondant to a protective order whether temporary, or permenant, or a Restraining order may not possess firearms, or ammunitions. The Gun Control act also does not provide an exclusion for Military Personnel, Security Guards, Law Enforcement, or any other types of persons that are required by the duties of their professions to possess, carry or work with or around Firearms, Guns, Explosives, or any other types of munitions and other types of weaponry. The Act also makes it a felony for any person to provide another person with such Firearms, and ammunition or weaponry including Military Commanders, Non-Commissioned Officers, and other types of Professional Career type leadership officials such as Police Officers and also Security Guards and or National Guardsmen.We have made this website in the support of either repealing the amendment, or by amending the amendment to allow exclusions for persons whose careers have been adversely affected due to this law, as well as allow for the victims rights not to be violated in situations that may arise from the amendment, or repeal of the Lautenberg Amendment..
There should be no exceptions to the law; it should be repealed.
