You think a defined party can't trespass?
Domestic Party A has left Domestic Partner B, and is in a location where B has no legal right to enter or remain. B shows up and threatens use of a deadly weapon. Police show up, and it's "A said"/"B said". B refuses to leave, and is arrested.
After negotiating a tough-to-prove case, the prosecutor lets B plead guilty to trespassing, a misdemeanor equivalent to a speeding ticket with no possibility of jail.
B was just convicted of a crime, an element of which was the threatened use of a deadly weapon against A. B is now a prohibited person.
I simply do not see how you believe that.
No, B was just convicted of trespass. If they cannot convict of a threatened used of a deadly weapon, B isn't guilty of a crime that prohibits him from owning a firearm.
"Trespass" isn't a charge that includes "has, as an element, the use or attempted use of physical force, or
the threatened use of a deadly weapon, committed by a current or former spouse,
parent, or guardian of the victim, by a person with whom the victim shares a
child in common, by a person who is cohabitating with, or has cohabited with
the victim as a spouse, parent, or guardian, or by a person similarly situated to
a spouse, parent, or guardian of the victim. The term includes all misdemeanors
that have as an element the use or attempted use of physical force or the
threatened use of a deadly weapon "
Trespass is a charge that includes as elements 'illegal entry'.
The portion you are reading too much into, is the wording that covers states that may not have statute that clearly states 'domestic violence.' Trespass would not fit the 'elements of' test.
But, 'battery of spouse with a deadly weapon,' would fit the 'elements of' test. If 'battery of spouse with a deadly weapon' was plead down to 'trespass,' it no longer fits the 'elements of' test.
