We request you pass legislation to Repeal the Lautenberg Amendment (section section 658 of Public Law 104-208 ) that Bill Clinton signed into
law back in 1996. It serves no purpose other than to create very thin and questionable criteria to permanently ban citizens from their "Right to Keep and Bear Arms".
Soldiers, police officers, and anyone who has been judged to have committed a misdemeanor crime of domestic violence has incurred a lifetime ban to own or possess firearms. As you know, a misdemeanor crime of domestic violence need not involved a physical crime, but a mere verbal exchange, with the punishment sometimes being only a $10 fine. In many metro areas, a second phone call to a house over a family altercation will result in the standard police procedure of automatically arrest.
