Yet another reason why young men should never marry. Ever.
The law is so grossly stacked against men by “feminists” that the only prudent course of action is to boycott marriage and the legal snares that women’s groups have created for men.
I’m not sure that one can avoid the “snares” by not getting married. I think the snares may be just as numerous for non-married hetero men as well, just not as clearly defined.
This guy wasn't married at the time of his misdemeanor conviction. Shacking up is enough for a "domestic violence" conviction in most (maybe all? ) states.
Domestic violence charges aren't conditioned on marriage. Boyfriend/girlfriend is enough of a hook, as are sibling relationships, and striking out against any relative.
This defendant didn't challenge the constitutionality of the Lautenberg amendment, not that such a challenge would have been worth spit. Someday, if the government lasts long enough, any battery conviction (simple battery is predicated on unwelcome contact of any kind - physical injury is not necessary) will be sufficient justification to strip the RKBA. There is no rational basis that domestic battery is any more "special" than battery against a friend or stranger.
It's VAWA, the Klintonx' pet. It was written by The Beast Hillary to punish all men everywhere forever, as her revenge for having married The Rapist.
Sick people write sick laws.
