The Supreme Court of the United States has finally ruled on an issue mentioned in the October 2015 syllabus, and first argued in February of 2016. The decision ruled that people convicted of any domestic abuse crimes can no longer legally own firearms.
The efforts were taken in order to “close a dangerous loophole” that allowed people convicted of “minor” domestic abuse to purchase and own weapons legally. Now, the ban on felons owning firearms has been extended to include people convicted of misdemeanor domestic violence.

This is a huge step forward for women’s rights, as more than 1/3 of women who fall victim to homicide, fall victim at the hands of their significant other. According to studies, spouses are the murderers of women 38.6% of time, whereas, for murdered men, it is only 6.3% of their partners who are responsible for their deaths.

Supreme Court Upholds Gun Ban For Domestic Violence Convicts
Well, having worked in an area where guns and bad guys who have them is terribly relevant, I must say this:
Dear Supremes and Anti-Gun Useful idiots,
In the many homicides of a spouse or significant other I worked on, not one of the weapons used was registered. Not one of the murderers had a concealed weapons permit. NOT ONE OF THEM FOLLOWED THE LAW.
So you just keep making laws that the bad guys don’t follow. Just keep making laws that make it hard on the average law-abiding citizen to arm themselves. Pointless.
Excellent point
Thanks.
Nor I yours.
More and more, this nation is ruled by the PMS brigade and rational thought has no place.
But, in fact, this has little or nothing to do with domestic violence. It's about advancing the gun control agenda, one small step at a time.
WOW. Thanks for posting this. I knew I would have limited access for a day or two.
Great thread. and Im not even half way thru yet!
