"Armstrong was found with six firearms in 2010, just two years after his second conviction for assaulting his wife.
Police found Voisine's rifle after he was arrested in 2009 on a federal charge of killing a bald eagle. Voisine had two convictions for assaulting a domestic partner, as well."

They both sound like fine examples of the last people I would want in the militia.

The ruling is disappointing, but hardly surprising. <snip>

The bar for "domestic violence" is a very low bar that those in power constantly try to lower.
It does not take much of a testimony. You only get 6 jurors (in Washington at least) and everything is weighted against the accused.
I have been one of the accused.
In Washington the bar is so low that if you get into a fight with a former spouse, partner, or roommate even years later you can be charged with DV even if you do not take the first swing.
The encounter could just be unintentional on your part even. Even if they track you down to start something you get to suffer.

I've been on the wrong end of a DV charge as well with no evidence other than what she said. For my troubles I spent a weekend in jail and was offered several plea deals from a female DA - complete with threats of permanent loss of RKBA, 2 years of anger management classes at my expense and about a year in jail if I refused. Three months of random drug tests, temporary loss of RKBA and $3000 in legal fees later I was acquitted by a jury of 4 women and 2 men with a female Judge presiding.
I'm living proof that not talking to the police or taking a plea bargain does work! Though it was a long and bumpy ride...

Colorado has implemented one of the most aggressive judicial responses to DV that i have seen in the country. that you made it through the DOJ gauntlet is a statement to your good luck, as most succumb, even with legal representation.
the CO Div Criminal Justice's Domestic Violence Offender Management group has, since the first of the new century, convinced the state's legislature to generate and impose a huge program, which includes mandatory sentencing guidelines of 52 weeks of group therapy at perp's expense, jail time, and so forth. this has benefited the 'providers' of such programs tremendously. oh, did i fail to mention the DV group is comprised of these providers!!
to the credit of the nice CO LEs, they are taking the time to determine who is the DV perp, and as such, women perps in CO have risen higher than the national average which prompted a huge outcry from national women's organizations, but the LEs stuck to their stats and which showed women are causing DV in significant numbers. they are now a gaggle of women going through the CO DV program.
