Supreme Court Backs Gun Curbs in Domestic-Violence Cases

[Grizalltheway]

I don't have brothers, BUT, if you're both grown ass men and you can't work things out without resorting to a fist fight in the front yard (that's pretty trashy to be honest), then I don't have much sympathy for you if you end up in legal trouble.

But at the same time, I don't think you should necessarily lose your gun rights over it, depending on the circumstances.

Nowhere in my post did I say fight. I just said wrestling around...you know, foolin' around or goofing off?

Well that's a different story. I would hope the neighbor would have enough sense to realize the difference.

Most domestic violence laws dictate that if a primary aggressor cannot be determined, then both parties are charged. More times than not, bith go to jail as mutual combatants.

I have a coworker that had to deal with the system screwing him in the last year.

Long story short his girlfriend (now ex) was drunk on a Sun night/Mon morning. Bar closed and wouldn't let her drive. They called him to get her. Witnesses told cops they witnessed her swing at him because he wouldn't let her drive when he got there. This was 230 AM. He leaves for work at 530.

At 245 PM, so 13 hours after it all started, she shows up at the police station to file a domestic charge against him. He's arrested at work at 415 pm and charged with domestic assault with intent to seriously injure, strangulation and something else.

Well she waited until so late in they day because she was still drunk and smelled of booze and couldn't have driven or not gotten public intoxat the station. She also timed it so that he couldn't bond out that night, intentionally.

Went through 8 months of court hearings and all that comes with it. He wasn't allowed into his apartment because she was living there. He couldn't get any of his things. They finally got her out but she stole 2 iPads, Bose sound system, a laptop, etc... But he couldn't file it as stolen since "he gave her access to use it". He also bought a car and was letting her drive it. She took of in the car. He's SOL. He can't report it as stolen since he title is in the car when she took off with it. It's under his name, her name isn't on it, it's his insurance, everything. Nothing can be done about it.

Well, after months of investigating his lawyer was able to prove everything was 100% made up and he got a 1 year deferred if he completed batterer rehab, or some **** like that, and didn't get a single ticket of any kind during his 1 year probation. Any legal issues is an automatic guilty on all abuse charges even though the judge agreed it was 100% made up. Oh, yeah, judge says it's made up but he still is on probation. That's screwed up.


There's been an over correction to the lack of proper punishment for this type of crime. His photo was included in all forms of media that put or mug shots and criminal complaints. It's on his public court record so any background check will pop it up.


The courts will do the same thing to BOTh parties of it wants too. It's all up to the courts of they want to pursue charges.

The mandatory arrest laws that pretty much every state enacted 20 years ago were in response to the revelations that cam out of the OJ trial.

Which is interesting considering that OJ didn't kill his wife because th glove didn't fit or something, but I digress

These laws are just us finding ourselves hurtling down the slippery slope that began with allowing women to vote

And drive
