"Some misdemeanors preclude gun rights as well and can result in felonious possesion charges by the State....which granted unless it's a Project Exile state will not be as draconian as the Feds but punitive nonetheless.

Bush's charge did not rise to that at the time...however now in some states...multiple DUIs can result in firearms rights revocation.
"

No, it did not. However, I'm of the opinion that anyone stupid enough to get busted multiple times for DUI shouldn't be trusted with firearms anyhow. Supporting drunks with guns is not a big plus in getting rid of bad firearms regulations.

Of course, if you believe that poor judgment in driving while intoxicated doesn't necessarily mean poor judgment in general, then I suppose you can continue to use that argument.

I remember a guy who went on a hunt with me and a couple of other guys. He drank too darn much, and was really sloppy with his handling of his rifle. He never was asked to go again. In fact, if it had been in my power, I'd have taken his rifle away for the duration of the trip. He was an idiot. Incidentally, he ended up killing himself and his family in a drunken car accident. Pretty predictable.

As usual you just wish to argue and assume a lot.

Have fun.

In Georgia a simple marijuana possession, even 20 years ago, with a sentence completed under the first offender act, prevents you from getting a Concealed Weapon Permit.
