GUN BAN FOR INDIVIDUALS CONVICTED OF A MISDEMEANOR CRIME OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE — 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(9)
The 1968 Gun Control Act and subsequent amendments codified at 18 U.S.C. § 921 et seq. prohibit anyone convicted of a felony and anyone subject to a domestic violence protective order from possessing a firearm. The intended effect of this new legislation is to extend the firearms ban to anyone convicted of a “misdemeanor crime of domestic violence.”
“There is no law enforcement exception: One of the provisions of this new statute removed the exemption that 18 U.S.C. § 925(a)(1) provided to police and military. Thus, as of the effective date, any member of the military or any police officer who has a qualifying misdemeanor conviction is no longer able to possess a firearm, even while on duty. ”
You are welcome.
I could list all the reasons why the reaction the left is having over this is bullshit, but I’m preaching to choir here. I’m just sick of hearing them. They don’t get it. The horses are already out of the barn. There’s no additional gun control that is going to help. The guns are out there and aren’t going anywhere. Amidst their glee that this was a white male that committed this atrocity is the realization that it was an armed citizen who was able to engage the guy to get him to stop. Though they’ll just ignore that part while shrieking for someone to “just do something!”. Meanwhile the rest of us living in the real world will accept that unfortunately evil is real and men will do horrible things, and we’ll prepare accordingly. I used to carry my Ruger LCP to church due to it’s size and discretion, but I think it’s time to find a way to make my SR1911 Commander an option.
Glock 17, because 17 opportunities for innocents to escape unharmed.
Multiple carriers for multiple coverage of multiple areas and multiple vectors of response……
The proper response to an attack involves the rapid acceleration of high density metals on a vector terminating in the attacker’s center of mass. Contact with the communications office of the local constabulary should occur at the safest possible moment, but no sooner.
When I found out he had been BCD’d for domestic violence, my first thought was “I’ll bet you that, right now, someone in Texas who just sold an AR is crapping his pants.”
Thanks to the oopsie by the Holloman AFB, he was never reported as a Domestic Abuser, or someone that spent 18 months in confinement. He was never flagged by NCIC, because the US Government never told the US Government he should be a prohibited person. He went to an FFL, filled out the 4473, and was approved by the Feds.
His ex-MIL supposedly attended that church, but was not present on Sunday?
