Re: Domestic violence misdemeanor carrying black powder?

The Annoyed Man wrote:What is really wrong about the Lautenberg law is that there seems to be no mechanism whereby someone who has demonstrated a long period of being a good citizen can have his rights restored. A convicted felon, even one who has more than one conviction, in which the last date of conviction goes back far enough, can petition a court for the restoration of his rights. Should someone be able to do that with a FV conviction that is old enough?
What I can't find right now, and I was sure I preserved, is part of lautenberg's amicus brief where he stated that his aim was to not only deny gun ownership for life, but that that threat would be a deterrent to family violence.

Re: Domestic violence misdemeanor carrying black powder?

In NY State simply possessing the components to load a black powder pistol, normally considered not to be a "firearm" under the law, converts it into a firearm, loaded or not.
