Recently the SCOTUS decided not to hear the gay marriage issue which has resulted in some states allowing it and some not. Please excuse the poor framing of this question but here is what I'm wondering. Why can't Virgina do this with the Lautenberg law? Earlier this year the SCOTUS ruled on the Castleman case. While the VSP initially made an interpretation that this ruling overruled US v white, most gun- rights attorneys particularly one that frequents this forum say it does not. What can be done on a state level to eliminate the threat of a person convicted of a misdemeanor from being disarmed? My neighbor has a conviction on his background from 17 years ago from an ex girlfriend that claimed he threw a wet towel at her and until US vs White he couldn't by a gun via FFL. I think this is an issue that needs attention come MLK day.
