Blumenthal, Murphy announce the Domestic Violence Survivor Protection Act

[jimmy the one]

3. agree mostly

sigma: The NRA is gonna hate this >>> agreed, they will oppose it as if it were bg checks I bet (repub senators ecstatic too I bet, some nra 'gunmoney' on the way!)

sigmasix: The NRA has been working deligently on re-arming violent felons and domestic violence perpatrators for more than a decade. this attempt at common sense gun regulation will be fought by the NRA..

You are correct with some caveats, & note that the phony individual rkba interpretation gained traction from a domestic abuse case, emerson; (Dec 2001): U.S. v Emerson was to reverse and remand a lower court ruling that cleared Dr. Timothy Joe Emerson of a federal violation of the 1994 Domestic Violence Act .. civil divorce court restraining order that ended with the finalization of the divorce.

I doubt nra will throw domestic abusers under the bus, eh?
.. but even nra can't find a way to argue guns for violent felons, so they sneak around it. NRA agrees that violent felons - convicted of robbery or aggravated assault or rape or prison released felony murderers - should not have guns, Yay.
But the caveat is that these felons must have been convicted of violent crimes, & plea bargaining down to a lesser crime like simple assault or larceny would generally not disallow those from getting 'gun rights' restored in nra eyes. Non violent felonies like burglary larceny & most property crime & misdemeanors, nra will support people getting guns after prison sentence complete.
NRA supported this restoration of gun rights for non violent felons, unconvicted violent felons, & misdemeanants, in fopa86 = firearm owners protection act of 1986. Actually some I agree with shouldn't be denied guns, like a felon perjurer or petty shoplifter perhaps, & of course frame ups.

.. so on the sly nra has few qualms about many/most violent felons getting guns back, winking & nodding. Then using this or that trumped up reason they go on to blame govt officials & cops for not preventing gun shooters, usually going 'he had a previous criminal record' & blame the system, speaking out the other side of it's hypocritical mouth.
