Domestic Abuse Being Used to Erode Second Amendment

This is a good and must read if you are concerned about the 2nd amendment. Sadly the Supreme Court got it wrong. See Supreme Court gets Hayes wrong, only felonies should cause loss of civil rights

This hardly is closing a loophole, but rather creating a noose to hang unsuspecting folks who plead guilty to misdemeanor offenses never knowing they would permanently forfeit their gun rights. The answer is to require the States to make domestic violence offenses felony level if the crimes are that serious. If the offenses are not that serious, then they are rightly misdemeanors and should not be disqualifiers. Both men and women can fall into the domestic violence loss of gun rights trap. The Second Amendment Sisters do not want to see gun rights eroded in the name of political correctness. If the offense is serious, make it a felony and prosecute to the fullest. If it is not that serious, then do not use it as an excuse for back door gun control."

Domestic abuse is serious business. But in the real world many of these cases are well suspect. Many people are just pleading to something to get it over with and I agree with the above article most don't have a clue of the future affects on their gun rights.
