The federal statute making it a crime for a person subject to a domestic violence injunction to possess a firearm does not violate the right to bear arms.
They don't even try to pretend anymore, do they? [Via cycjec]
While I support the federal statute that disallows a person with a domestic violence injunction to possess a firearm, I think all Citizens of the United States--who are not currently serving a prison term--have the right to buy, sell, trade or carry any type of firearm, at any time, in any place, and without any other limitations, requirements or tests of fitness, and inclusive of all accessories to arms.
TJP: Actually, you surprise me here. I always, without fail, enjoy the hell out of your comments and the way you present yourself. I think this is the first time I find myself in disagreement--not only because I personally know people who have had false charges brought up by vengeful ex's, and not only because the domestic partner has not been convicted of anything, but also because I see no delegated enumerated authority in the Constitution for the fed gov to assume that power--which to me, is actually a bigger issue than 2A in this case, not meaning to diminish SNBI in any way.
