I've been banned, over 20 years, from owning a gun. My offense? Grabbing a wrist and being too broke to get a good lawyer.

5 year ban for first time convictions sounds fair. Second conviction, differant story.

While the Lautenberg Amendment should be abolished, perhaps a 5 year ban would be more realistic. People make mistakes in life. People also move on too.

The Launtenberg Amendment is unconstitutional and should be amended. A domestic violence case should be based on facts at hand and habitual offenders and nature of the case. Factual evidence of the case are a necessity and should be considered when revoking someones 2nd amendment rights. Charging someone with domestic violence based soley on he said she said is not only dumb, it's going against everything the judicial system stands for.

Repeal! It is at least possible to get 2A rights back as a FELON, not so for a Misdemeanor!
