"In 1996, Congress did add those convicted of domestic violence to the list of those banned from purchasing firearms."

The writer of the article left out one important word "misdemeanor". This was a huge expansion of gun control, and a huge mistake. Prior to this, only felonies could cause loss of gun rights. Having "felony" domestic violence convictions cause loss of gun rights, I have no problem with---but NO "misdemeanor" should do so.

Just another reason (and this thing is a BIG one!) why I no longer support the NRA.
