sano: I believe that already exists.

And is being struck down in the appeals courts since the Supreme Court ruled that a gun law passes legal muster only if it is "rooted in history and tradition." Felons were not prohibited from owning guns by the Founding Fathers (nor by the Second and Fourteenth Amendments), so forgetaboutit.

In addition, the venerable 5th US Circuit Court of Appeals invalidated a federal law that bars an individual who is subject to a domestic violence restraining order from possessing a firearm. That law, the 5th US Circuit Court of Appeals ruled, "is an outlier that our ancestors would never have accepted." The US Supreme Court has agreed to hear that case this year so you can probably kiss that law goodbye too. You wouldn't want to take guns out of the hands of wife beaters, now would ya'?

Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition.
