A Domestic violence charge is 100% a ban on owning any guns, I think it's even a separate question on the background check. Have you ever been charged with domestic violence, not even convicted. I've heard from many people that even after an acquittal from a domestic violence charge people have had their gun rights taken away, and only restored after extensive legal help.
What many people do not realize is that a conviction for any crime of domestic violence prohibits that individual from owning a firearm FOR THE REST OF HIS OR HER LIFETIME.
This is not based upon a state law, but rather a federal statute known as the Lautenberg Act. A violation of this statute is a federal crime punishable by up to ten (10) years in federal prison.
This is correct, but hang on a second.
He got a court martial from the Air Force for domestic violence, but that was not enough to get the Full Dishonorable Discharge that would have blocked him from buying guns.
He catches a animal abuse charge but I cannot find if he was convicted or not.
Correct me if I am wrong someone, but Animal Abuse does not block you from having a right to buy weapons, unlike wife beating.
Also, it is very common knowledge that domestic abuse cases can be hard to prove or prosecute, especially if the woman or family members refuses to testify or cooperate. Unless the woman or person is covered in bruises or serious bodily harm, charges tend to get dropped or people get Deferred Adjudication, probations, etc.
Had he likely got prosecuted for his violence all the way, he would not have been able to buy that gun, unless he bought it years ago in the Air Force (which doesn't seem likely)
I bet whatever prosecutor dropped the ball on that, feels pretty shitty right now.
