LBJ-law review

Okay so lets start with the facts. Under the GCA, firearms possession by certain categories of individuals is prohibited such as, Anyone who has been convicted in a federal court of a crime punishable by imprisonment for a term exceeding 1 year, excluding crimes of imprisonment that are related to the regulation of business practices. Anyone who has been convicted in a state court of a crime punishable by imprisonment for a term exceeding 2 years, excluding crimes of imprisonment that are related to the regulation of business practices. Anyone who is a fugitive from justice. Anyone who is an unlawful user of or addicted to any controlled substance. Anyone who has been adjudicated as a mental defective or has been committed to a mental institution. Any alien illegally or unlawfully in the United States or an alien admitted to the United States under a nonimmigrant visa. Anyone who has been discharged from the US Armed Forces under dishonorable conditions. Anyone who, having been a citizen of the United States, has renounced his or her citizenship. Anyone that is subject to a court order that restrains the person from harassing, stalking, or threatening an intimate partner or child of such intimate partner.
Anyone who has been convicted of a misdemeanor crime of domestic violence (added in 1996). And also you must be 18 years of age, but with exceptions like for employment, target practice, education, and a handgun possessed while defending the home of the juvenile or a home in which they are an invited guest.
OKay so now time for my opinion on this act, like for example i think that at times yes its okay to own a hand gun but at the same time i think that the rules the set are very very fair for the circumstances that we have today because today the scary but true fact is that we never know if the person walking next to use walking down the street might have a gun or some time of weapon. Which isnt at all a healthy envirorment for anyone to have to live with but its also the sad truth that some people don't take too seriously. But you also can't live your life thinking about all the bad things and worry about them. But now a days you just got to hope for the best because you never now whats going to happen. So personally i think that the rules the set for people now a days.
