Temporary Firearm Ban After Misdemeanors Involving Weapons
New rules introduce a temporary ban on possessing or acquiring firearms for individuals convicted of misdemeanors where a firearm was used, carried, or possessed. This ban will last for three years after the completion of the sentence for such a misdemeanor. The aim is to enhance public safety by restricting firearm access for those who have previously misused them, even in less severe offenses.
