United States Supreme Court

In a case challenging convictions under 18 U.S.C. section 922(g)(9), which extended the federal prohibition on firearms possession by convicted felons to persons convicted of a 'misdemeanor crime of domestic violence,' the First Circuit's affirmation of defendants' convictions are affirmed where a reckless domestic assault qualifies as a 'misdemeanor crime of domestic violence' under section 922(g)(9).
