The Lautenberg Amendment to the Gun Control Act of 1968, effective 30 September 1996, makes it a felony for those convicted of misdemeanor crimes of domestic violence to ship, transport, possess, or receive firearms or ammunition. The Amendment also makes it a felony to transfer a firearm or ammunition to an individual known, or reasonably believed, to have such a conviction. Soldiers are not exempt from the Lautenberg Amendment.

As I recall, initially, Law Enforcement wasn't exempt either...........till the feds had to start putting investigators on desk duty because they could no longer possess firearms................sadly, the politicians "fixed that" seems its "ok" for cops to beat up their spouses.....

Id like to see the change in the law that states that. There have been LEOs that have lost their jobs recently due to DV convictions so Im a bit skeptical.

There is an exception for military and police, but it is kind of complicated: https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/925

Did you just really say that?? its ok for the police to beat their spouses?? what a smart !@#. I spent 35 years of my life in a cruiser and gladly gone now so I do not have to endure hateful sarcasm from an ungrateful mouth like that. Very obvious you have a chip on your shoulder.
And yes , even for police, a DV conviction around here anyways means your career in law enforcement is over.
