    So this guy is arguing that they can't make a law that is "retroactive" to take away a right. Good luck.

    They got away with it, with the misdemeanor crime of domestic violence. Since they have gotten away with it before, they will continue to make these UN-constitutional laws, just the same as passing more UN-constitutional gun laws. As long as we allow it.

    quote:As of September 30, 1996, it is illegal to possess a firearm after conviction of a misdemeanor crime of domestic violence. This prohibition applies to persons convicted of such misdemeanors at any time, even if the conviction occurred prior to the new law's effective date.
