re: Should Convicted Domestic Abusers Have *Legal Access to Guns?

Thomas' question was, in effect, "Do any other crimes suspend Constitutional rights?"

Domestic Violence sounds scary, but it's still typically a Misdemeanor Assault offense. Should a Constitutionally guaranteed right be stripped because of that?

Should it be stripped for any other Misdemeanor Assault charge? It assaulting your spouse any worse than assaulting any other person? Think logically, think hate-crime laws.

I say it's a Constitutional right. They should still legally be allowed to possess firearms.

Also, think about what constitutes "assault." You push (not punch) your wife and she says "Ouch"...you just committed an assault...Domestic Assault. As of now, you can lose a Constitutional right for pushing your spouse.
