Bull.. Thousands of people with minor domestic squabbles will lose their 2nd amendment rights. -- this is not a 'minor' matter..
You misunderstand. The title is very deceiving.
This case was not about the 2nd amendment. Read the decision - the 2nd isnt even mentioned. There were no arguments about whether or not taking away the RKBA of a person convicted of a misdemeanor is constitutional or not. That would be about the 2nd and I look forward to such a case, but its not what this case was about.
The whole point of this case was that Hayes was challenging his losing his RKBA based off of not having been charged and convicted with a domestic violence crime. Rather he was convicted of simple battery. Thats the point - the law says domestic violence and his charge said battery. That was the entire point of the case, and the only thing contested.
Ginsberg basically said You were convicted of beating up your wife. Thats a crime of domestic violence regardless of what the city called the charges against you. And I agree with her.
You admit that "-- The whole point of this case was that Hayes was challenging his losing his RKBA," -- And that, -- " Ginsberg basically said You were convicted of beating up your wife. Thats a crime of domestic violence regardless of what the city called the charges against you [ thus you can lose your RKBA - my paraphrase]..
And I agree with her.
So, you agree with her that his 'crime' can result in a loss of his RKBA. That 'agreement' also means that thousands of people with minor domestic squabbles will lose their 2nd amendment rights. -- this is not a 'minor' matter..
I happen to strongly disagree with her that taking away someones RKBA for a misdemeanor is not unconstitutional. Personally, I think taking away a persons RKBA for a non-violent felony is unconstitutional, but thats another matter.
No , its not "another matter". Taking away a persons RKBA for a non-violent act is an unconstitutional infringement, and the judicial pretense about being "narrowly defined" is a simple effort to 'end around' a basic right.
This case was very narrowly defined and decided, and had nothing to do with the constitutionality of taking away someones RKBA for a misdemeanor. It wasnt about the Second Amendmend.
Dream on. Your RKBA's is dying the death of a thousand cuts, while we allow the courts to play word games..
You obviously have no understanding of law.
