There are a HELL of a lot more issues involved with the two cases before SCOTUS right now than just what you are stating here.
Justice Thomas specifically asked if there were any other MISDEMEANORS for which a citizen can lose a constitutional right. Damn good question.
There is also severe issues with the way the law was written. You can have an instance in which you don't do squat to a domestic partner but they make allegations when the police arrive. You aren't taken into custody but issued a summons (like a traffic ticket) and subsequently told that if you plead Nolo Contendre the DA will wipe the arrest and conviction from your record in six months. Sounds like a good deal? Your dime store lawyer says "take the deal and write me a check." You don't find out until later that you just signed away your gun rights for life. No appeal. No going back.
