WIS TV in Columbia, SC reports
The Supreme Court on Monday [June 27] upheld the broad reach of a federal law that bars people with misdemeanor domestic violence convictions from owning guns.
The justices rejected arguments that the law covers only intentional or knowing acts of abuse and not those committed recklessly--where a person is aware of the risk that an act will cause injury, but not certain it will. As examples, the court mentioned throwing a plate in the heat of an argument, or slamming a door.
The case involved two Maine men who said their guilty pleas for hitting their partners should not disqualify them from gun ownership.
[...] The case is notable [...] because when it was argued on Feb. 29 Justice Clarence Thomas asked a series of questions from the bench, the first time in 10 years that he'd asked a question.
[...] Thomas expressed concern at the argument that a misdemeanor conviction could deprive someone of their constitutional gun rights, pressing a government attorney for any other examples when that could happen. He returned to that issue in [his] dissenting opinion.
"Under the majority's reading, a single conviction under a state assault statute for recklessly causing an injury to a family member--such as by texting while driving--can now trigger a lifetime ban on gun ownership", he wrote, adding: "We treat no other constitutional right so cavalierly."
Justice Sonia Sotomayor joined Thomas' dissent in part, agreeing that if Congress wanted to cover all reckless conduct it could have written the law differently.

- I see no problem taking away the tool mentioned above that can be discharged incredibly easily by someone who can't control their urges in causing physical (and emotional - albeit less related in tis case) harm - frontal lobe development and all that

Well, you know how it is with statistics on "mass shootings" -- it all depends on how you define it. If you use some of the more inclusive definitions (e.g. shooting with 2 or more victims), it may still be true, because the majority of these "mass shootings" are simply ordinary murders with multiple victims (maybe spouse/spouse's paramour, maybe spouse and children), not the Columbine/Sandy Hook/Orlando type rampages that get all the press.

Sorry I didn't say it well perhaps; was trying not to be overly wordy.
I think if someone is going to shoot you with a rifle or a shotgun or something, they'd be equally willing to do some other horrible thing. It's not impulsive, spur-of-the-moment type of violence. You can't walk around with one of those in your pocket. It's no secret if you have one, your intent to shoot something or someone is pretty clear. Someone carrying that and willing to shoot you with it had that in mind all along.
Handguns, though... people carry them for "self defense" all time. They are principally for shooting people; there's only a handful of hunting situations or the like you can justify them for. They can be stuffed in a purse or pants or whatever, so you won't necessarily know someone has one. Because they're small, they're also easier to steal. They're easy to have on hand. They're relatively easy to use and fire, and very fast. All of this makes them prone to being used abruptly, out of nowhere, which I think makes them a lot more dangerous. I don't like the idea that someone provably prone to rash decisions that have had seriously poor consequences could have easy access to these.
Wish they'd more laws on handguns and dial back all the overblown focus on "assault weapons". I think the kinds of "mass shooters" we get, if we were actually somehow able to ban "Assault weapons", would just switch to bombs. You might as well ban oxygen before you try to ban bombs.

Those men who do report physical violence are more likely to be ridiculed–both by law enforcement and by the public–than women are. More money is spent on women’s programs, and more crusades are launched on behalf of women who are victims of domestic violence despite the fact that men are almost equally or in some cases more likely to be victims of both physical and psychological abuse….

You don't know what you're talking about, and should research the corruption of the domestic violence industry and its abuse against men, especially in minority communities. It's a racket.
There are countless examples of men calling the cops on women because she's throwing things or hitting him with things or just punching (men aren't supposed to hit women, so most will just take it up to a point). Now here's the heinous problem: Domestic Violence laws state that if the cops show up, somebody has to go to jail -- They must remove someone from the situation even if everyone there says things are fine. The Primary Aggressor clause states that the cops must arrest the individual that appears to be "most dangerous", this is interpreted to mean "bigger and stronger". That means it's almost always the man who is taken to jail, regardless of who is being violent. That's right: Abused men are taken to jail for domestic violence. [nationalparentsorganization.org]
So, when a man is bloodied by his spouse and calls the cops on his abusive wife he will frequently find himself in jail after being beaten. Abused men learn quickly not to call the cops on their abusers, contributing to underreporting of abuse against men. Once in jail the prosecutors get involved, and they use every tool in the book to get a conviction. All it takes at that point is a statement from the female abuser. The bruises on the man will be enough proof of a struggle.
In many cases the woman will try to give a signed and witnessed affidavit stating that she does not wish to press charges, that she was not actually abused. Sometimes neighbors called the cops because of an argument, or perhaps the woman called the cops just being vindictive or maybe she was legitimately scared. What happens when she submits the affidavit claiming the man's innocence to the court is that the man is then changed with threatening her life, sometimes zealous prosecutors even push for this to be considered a Terroristic Threat. Their logic is that he must have threatened her life in some way to get her to drop the case, and in no circumstance to they consider she's not been threatened, just in case she has (even though she swore under oath she wasn't). The case is then enhanced and becomes a Felony, it's elevated to the Federal Court with even higher stakes and larger fines (more money for the government).
The man is held in jail sometimes for months with no bail allowed because of the "threat" he poses to the safety of his spouse. Facing losing his job and failure to pay bills, repossession of vehicles, house, etc. The family itself is now being punished by the state. Under this pressure the woman may try to file even more affidavits and testify in court that no abuse took place -- All of this is detrimental to the case the man's defense in court. So, what does he do? He pleads guilty.
I went to jail for failure to pay a ticket. In one local jail cell-block over half of the men being held (pretrial detainees) were charged with "domestic violence". Six of the men were being charged with "Family Violence" even though they had never met the accuser before they day they had an argument in public. On a bus, in a store. One woman pickpocket tried to steal a guy's phone, he chased her down and ripped it out of her hand. The security camera footage from the store conveniently only covered his grabbing her shoulder and roughly taking back his own phone. This is "Family Violence" says the cops, why else would she have his phone? Criminals know how they can abuse the system by lying about domestic abuse, and the cops coach women in such scuffles to make a statement of domestic abuse.
Go do some damn research. You're being ignorant, and it could be bad for your health. Here are 286 studies which show that Women are as Violent or More Violent than Men with regard to domestic violence. [csulb.edu] Domestic violence is not a gendered problem in the first place, so why do we have feminist organizations like National Organization for Women having the Violence Against Woman Act passed when domestic abuse affects both men and women victims about equally? If they're pushing for "equality" then why do they only want to increase the punishment for domestic violence against woman and not people in general?

A snub nose 38 revolver is frankly exactly what you want when it comes to protecting your home, its simple, small, and short range. It was only after they started demonizing the SNS that you saw all the decent gun manufacturers drop out to be replaced by shitty 25 autos and other cheap junk, before that a SNS was a really quality little gun and if you come across a late 50s/early 60s example they are still great guns to own.

This, unfortunately, is the exact kind of overly broad, slippery slope ruling that gun rights advocates have always been afraid of. When I first heard of this ruling I didn't think much of it, seemed like a good idea at first blush. But now that I realize just how ridiculously broad this is and that this negates (for life!) a constitutional right based on nothing but a misdemeanor conviction, I am severely disturbed by this. The quote from Justice Thomas is exactly correct. There is no other constitutional right that can be permanently swept away by something as simple as a misdemeanor. I'm not even on board with states that revoke for life a citizens' right to vote or bear arms based on felony convictions, due largely to the number of innocuous non-violent crimes such as marijuana possession that we've turned into felonies. So i definitely can't go along with letting a misdemeanor conviction, which could very easily result from a plea deal regarding a non-intentional or even non-violent event that would have resulted in no conviction if it actually went to trial, result in a lifetime revocation of any person's 2nd Amendment rights. I just can't do it.
I think it really says something that this case was what finally got Thomas to open his yap in court for the first time in a decade. Imagine revoking someone's 1st Amendment rights because they shouted too loud or said the wrong thing, or, heaven forbid, worshipped the "wrong" deity.
For the gun control fans who think this ruling makes perfect sense ("don't give guns to violent people, duh!") and that I am on the side of the wife beaters, I will now state as explicitly as I can that domestic violence is a terrible problem and I'm definitely not in favor of people with actual histories of violence having easy access to firearms. But the way this law is written is just way too broad and it needs to be rewritten to be focused on people who really engage in acts of intentional violence and not something as innocuous as a mutual shouting match or a car accident. And I'd like to point out that every time you make the gun rights advocates' worst nightmares come true, all you do is make their case stronger and bring more Americans over to the viewpoint that "The Libtards er comin' fer our guns!". This ruling will strengthen the Republican party and the NRA. Is that really what you want?
And now come the comments ridiculing me as a conservative gun nut moron, even though on all other known issues that have ever been discussed here I am one of the most liberal types there is. Which is why I always hesitate to participate in any conversation that is remotely firearms related. No matter how rational I try to be in my comments all I seem to ever get in response is narrow minded nastiness. I'm not holding my breath, but it would be refreshing if that didn't happen this time.

A lifetime ban for a one time offence is completely wrong. Require a gun safe, anger management/therapy/counseling, and ban possession until they fulfill the requirements.

The ban isn't just on violent people owning a guns, but their entire families. Can't keep any firearm in the house, even if it is in a locked safe and only you have the key. Weapons charges are no laughing matter. I've seen someone brought up on charges because a relative who live a few blocks a away had one, and the suspect visited a lot (they were providing home care)
And it puts people who have to be able to carry a firearm as a condition of employment in a tricky situation. Do you really want to risk your entire career on a misdemeanor charge? Do you have any idea how common domestic spats are with the military or police?
Even felons can have their voting rights reinstated (it's covered under state law), but a federal ban on a constitutional right is asinine.

That said, I don't want the federal government overriding the wishes of the states on this at all. If one state wants to ban or restrict guns, the constitution doesn't stop them, and the federal government shouldn't, either.

The difficulty is the 14th, which restricts what state governments can or can not do with regards to the Bill of Rights. I anticipate some localities to have different rules regarding open carry and the like, but otherwise the language is quite clear- no one can be denied ownership.
And because of the 14th, you can't tease out that some rights apply while others do not. It's good with the bad, with at least some minimal baseline that even states can not cross.
Some state restrictions come dangerously closely to then not only violating the 2nd but the 14th as well. When San Francisco passed ordinances that effectively closed down there last remaining gun shop, that was regrettable but legal as it was not an outright ban.

Many years ago, I went out with some friends in Virginia Beach; one woman brought along her husband, a Navy Seal, who told us about one of the officers under whom he worked. The officer, described as "a mean baby-killing sonofabitch," had been caught up in the Iran-Contra affair and could not longer legally have a gun in the United States.

I would agree with this, but not necessarily for the reasons the court stated. I'm sure what I believe has been demolished by previous court opinion, but I believe the federal government shouldn't be allowed to interfere with individual state gun laws. When the Bill of Rights was written it was not seen as a guarantee that the federal government would guarantee these rights to individual citizens against their states - it was simply a limitation that Congress couldn't restrict these issues, that this power lied with the states and not the federal government. A very well-known example of this is the established religion clause: several states at the time had their own established churches and they were not expected to eliminate these when the bill of rights was ratified. It just meant that for the purpose of unity the states were going to compromise by letting each state make their own decision on this matter and keep the federal government out of it so states didn't have a means by which they could control one another.
I think most everybody would be happier in the end if we would just let states make these decisions. California and New York could pass all the anti-gun legislation they wanted without the federal government getting involved, Texas could go nuts with permissive gun laws, and while I hate to tell people "If you don't like it, leave," it is a lot easier to move from state to state, and this would give people a lot more options and a lot more choice. We would all be more likely to get what we want and wouldn't have to freak out so much about what people are doing across the country. But mostly now people like freaking out and handing the federal government more power, which is a very dangerous trend if you ask me.
I'm not saying I think states should pass gun control laws; I'm just saying that I am more concerned about the federal government having a say in the matter. I read the 2nd amendment as saying the federal government will stay out of it, granting the states to do whatever they like on this matter.
On a similar note, I'm also in the unique position of thinking that Texas should not have passed their anti-abortion law, but that the federal government should not have overridden it.

Again, I say let the states decide without interference from the federal government.
I'm taking note of Justice Thomas's comments that indicate additional reckless conduct could be unintentionally covered under the law, but it still doesn't sway me from my fundamental opinion that the federal government was not originally given the power to make gun law for the whole country, and has usurped it.

More importantly, when an abused man called the police, the police were more likely to arrest him than to arrest his abusive female partner.
Not only are men abused as often as women, they're more likely to go to jail than their abuser if they call the cops.
There are many women's shelters, but none for battered men and boys. Boys as old as 13 are prohibited from being with their mothers in a woman's shelter.

I reiterate, you fucking cunt, :
Also the fact that my opensource software project has reached release 90 and has over 100 weapons suggests against your notion that I am a "dumbass" or "insane".

PS: I care about my "stupid fucking game".
Only "stupid" and "fucking" because you, a cunt, haven't managed anything enjoyable.
However, If you (a cunt) drew with a crayon on a napkin "OMG GREATEST OPENSOURCE FEMALE GAME DEVELOPER EVER, WMYN POWR! FUK MEN. BOMB AFGHANS (GRRLS NOT BRIDES!!!)". Or you could just zip up some packages and get a similar response.

Fucking LOL, look at you! Looks like I hit a sore spot, making fun of your silly little FPS mods. I'm amazed THAT gets you all buttmad, but pointing out how completely crackers you are or how you most likely have a micropenis doesn't. That's some amazing priorities there, Mikee :)
Hah, of COURSE making fun of your virtual guns annoys you; they're phallic substitutes. And Cthulhu knows you're too insane to hold down any sort of job that requires human interaction; what do you do for a living, anyway, work at a dock somewhere? Nightshift security guard? I'm actually morbidly curious.

As you can see, the mod, alone, has been extensive.
I have also contributed to 2d RPG (increasing it's world size by a 1/3rd with all my maps, and it's variety with my pixel art building sets), written text console game, and system admin tools and utilities.
I have contributed about 70 pieces of music, a similar number of 3d models, three texture packs, not to mention the game code, maps, and buildings.
All under free, libre, opensource licenses.
Yes, I have contributed.
And yes, 11k people "care" about my fork of xonotic.
But most importantly is I: I care and I enjoy what I make.

Okay, and? It's still less useful than being a clueful end-user who can do data recovery with the existing tools. You're basically sitting there jacking off and pushing out crappy Doom clones.
I think I found your sore point, Mikee :) This is the culmination of your being, isn't it? The closest thing you will ever have to a magnum opus. Your life's work. It's all downhill from here, huh? Pathetic. You're such a complete dysfunctional shut-in you can't handle interacting with people, can you?

Doom clones are a better use of time then Init clones or most other systems software. Also they are fun.

You stated earlier the ease at which a hacker cunt, such as yourself, could find out this information.
So get to it cunt.
It's surely as easy as installing a linux distribution and declaring you have contributed to libre-software (while mmmamaaallllleeessss who actually program, create media, music, etc etc, na they aren't doing shit. Typical cunt mentality, your kind are like animals. You should be killed).

Who said it was me? :) Other people with, shall we say, escalated access to the way SN works would do more with the information anyway. You seem kind of scared of the idea.

Actually I use the stuff mostly for data recovery and, in some cases, setting up older folks with familiar-looking interfaces; getting Linux to look like Windows or Mac systems for people is a specialty of mine. With MS's shysty behavior concerning Windows 10, this is good timing; Plasma can look more like Windows than Windows itself has in half a decade, and it's possible to do a very convincing Mac-alike with Compiz, Plank, and the TopMenu plugins.
This has certainly been more useful to the world at large than your--ahem--contribution to the world of F/OSS, Mr. FPS Mapmaker. Cry some more.

You install linux systems which other mmaalleess have packaged and other mmaalleess have __programmed__.
That is you.
I: record songs, make 3d models, pixel art, textures, 3d maps, and I __program__.
This is me.
You're just a cunt. You __use__ libre/opensource software. You do NOT contribute to it in any way.
However, being a cunt, just like all cunts, you see the fact that you "grace" our software with your cunt presence as "contribution enough".
I love it when you pieces of shit are killed, and it does happen.

Hey, I never made any claim to contribution to the code base. So what? It's not like it's some kind of law that Thou Shalt Write Open Source, That Thy Uptime In The Land May Be Long, And Thy IP Be Not Cut Off From Among Thy People. You may as well say doctors are useless because they only treat patients, not create new drugs.
This may surprise you, but some of us are actually able to function in the physical presence of other human beings, and provide services as well as or in addition to goods. We don't all have a Yuck Field with a 20m radius like you. Most of us, in fact, do not scare small animals and sensitives by simply existing and getting within range of them. Man, how solipsistic can you get? Sad little troll...

i'm not going to read anything extra about any of this BS b/c i think war is a foregone conclusion but it seems they had to rule the way they did b/c the challenge to the law was wrongheaded. some stupid technicality about the intentions of the abusive act. who gives a shit about that! the problem is denying someone's constitutional right over a single crime. the bill of rights clearly said that repeat offenders/career degenerates and the known(read proven by acts) mentally unsound could be denied guns. this is why hillary wants to get your kids into the mental health system from an early age b/c she knows it causes Crazy and they will pass "common sense" laws denying gun rights based on some quack POS's diagnosis. make whatever laws you traitors want. the penalty for treason is death.
