This was in the comments section of an article on the Boston Gun Rights Examiner (the article was talking about modern day "Red Coats") and I found it to be something worth sharing. I don't know the source as it was labeled anonymous, but whoever wrote it really hit it out of the park.

We The People, Do Hereby Declare and Proclaim Ourselves;
To Be in Agreement with the Spirit, Meaning and Intent of the Constitution which Established the Republic Acknowledged as that of These United States, and In General with the Spirit, Meaning and Intent of Constitutions Having Established Our Respective States within the Union.
We the People, Do Hereby Declare and Proclaim Ourselves;
To Be Peaceful and Law-abiding American Citizens and Hold every Honest Intent to Assent, Abide and Bind Ourselves to;
All Constitutionally-Permissible, Just and Rightfully-Enacted Laws.
In Honor of and Having Respect for, Those Patriots who Responded to the Crisis which Occurred on the 19th day of April in 1775;
In Honor of and Having Respect For, Those Righteous Persons who Sacrificed All Which They Had to Cause Tyranny and Despotism to Be Abolished;
In Honor of and Having Respect for, Those who Courageously and Brilliantly Brought Forth from the Articles of Confederation a System of Government by Consent of The People;

That is where a lot of people with misdemeanors other than domestic violence get screwed. You have to get it expunged, set aside or get a pardon. The other option is to leave that state. If you can get restoration of rights for a misdemeanor then do so but they are for felons because a misdemeanor conviction was not suppose to take any rights away until the Government decided to do so on domestic violence.
Good Luck
