Misdemeanor.

I think the first restriction appeared in 1994 and lasted for the duration of any court order and pressure mounted by 1996 to make it permanent. It doesn't matter if it's a misdemeanor or not, it's based on a domestic violence charge. Just like a any felony conviction regardless of the nature prohibits firearm and ammunition possession, even non-violent convictions like writing bad checks over $2,500 in Texas. I'm not voicing any opinion whether that's appropriate or not, just passing along information.

"A DOJ official, speaking on the condition of anonymity, disputed Oyer's account, telling ABC News the spat over Gibson's gun rights was not a factor in removal."

yeah, right.
