BREAKING: Supreme Court Defiantly Cuts Legs Off Of NRA With This Historic Ruling (VIDEO)
BiPartisan Report ^ | June 27, 2016 | Pearson McKinney

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.

Taking this further, the bots will be instrumented (cheaply) to indicate when the male gets sufficiently rough and/or verbally aggressive to indicate what would be considered violence under the law had the bot been an actual female. Same result.

I don’t see how a conviction for domestic violence is that far off, it’s a violent crime and as such, it’s perpetrator should lose their right to own a gun which would allow them to potentially do more damage the next time they commit the crime...which they probably will.

You don't belong on Free Republic.

You should never lose guns for a Misdemeanor. If a crime is serious enough to lose guns over, the crime should be a felony.

One does not even have to look at the stats. One has only to know how the Democrats operate. They operate on creating and sowing discord, propagating lies, deception, and deceiving. They have: 1. Caused Blacks to hate Whites. Caused Whites to hate Blacks. 3. Created discord between men and women. 4. Caused conflict and strife between women and men. 5. Divided the people into sub groups with the intention of creating conflict, disharmony, strife, and warfare between them. to illustrate} The have created the categories of: 1. Womens issues and rights. 2. Black issues and rights. 3. homosexual issues and rights. 4. Transgender? rights and issues. to name a few. The above was not intended to be all inclusive, merely to serve as an example.

And what I would rank as the worst of all: children’s “rights” or power against authority, such as parents.

It is very difficulty to prove that you didn't hit a women if she is vindictive and lies that you did.

No home defence for you.

I'm getting tired of advocates that constantly cite "studies" or the claims of so-called "experts". Experts and the people conducting studies all too often have an agenda... I wish they would instead cite "facts".

the first question a judge asks in a preliminary hearing to an unrepresented person will be “do you care if there is a restraining order?”.

If the answer is no, the judge will simply impose the restraining order without warning about the second amendment rights. If anything it will be couched in a vague reference to “rights”.

I bet the firearms sales in Walmart parking lots will diminish because of this.

Assuredly. Walmart has security cameras in their lots. They'll be moving to Dollar General or Family Dollar parking lots.

With this ruling, more women will be killed outright because of an angry outbreak in the home or a threat to call the LEO for being “allegedly” abused. People who own guns, really like their guns. To lose them all, over a snit, drastically changes the whole relationship very quickly.

If they're going to jail, and going to lose their freedom anyway, they might as well make it worth their while, basically. Unintended consequences indeed.

Many many cases of false accusations of DV. If the marriage is on the rocks most people start planning. To get custody, to get the big alimony settlement, your case is strengthend with a DV charge. So it’s an easy thing to start a fight, go into another room and injured yourself then call 911. Police show up, arrest and charge the spouse. Happens all the time!
I had a buddy who decided to divorce. To avoid that exact scenario he moved out of the house one weekend when his wife was out of town. He then refused to be alone with her ever again. He would only meet her if necessary in a public place.
