The government argues that because of his guilty plea to misdemeanor battery Hayes is not allowed to own a gun. But Hayes and his lawyer disagree. They say it's not fair to apply a law that was passed in 1996 to an offense that happened in 1994. They also say Hayes plead guilty to a state misdemeanor battery charge, which is different from a federal domestic violence misdemeanor.
That would be "the government" that reports to "The Vote Freedom First President" who gun owners put in power.
If there were any justice, SCOTUS would rule for Mr. Hayes. Which is why I predict they will refuse to hear it without comment.
UPDATE: Eating my own words has never been more delicious. Mmm....mmm, that's good eatin'. (And I should have read the article I linked to more closely, because it says it too. My total negligence while trying to hurry on to something else.)
Thanks, Bill. Now let's hope they do the right thing and I can keep it down.
