After *conviction* of beating up girlfriend, right to own guns automatically restored in 5 years: [View all]

[tblue37]

This is how Republicans defanged the closing of the "boyfriend" loophole" during negotiations over text of bill.

Republicans successfully secured the following concession:

After you are CONVICTED of beating up your girlfriend, your right to own a firearm is AUTOMATICALLY RESTORED after five years

Thank goodness someone is looking out for men who beat up their partners

As we wait for bill text, we're told that under the closing the "boyfriend loophole" provision, there's an automatic restoration of guns rights after five years if an individual has no other convictions for a violent crime.
