"Wyoming loses gun case in federal court"

"Wyoming loses gun case in federal court": The Associated Press provides a report that begins, "A federal appeals court in Denver has ruled that a Wyoming state law that seeks to allow people convicted of misdemeanor domestic violence to regain their gun rights fails to meet federal requirements. A three-judge panel of the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Monday ruled that the procedure spelled out in Wyoming law actually fails to expunge the criminal record of people convicted of domestic violence."

In response to the ruling, the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence has today issued a news release headlined "Brady Center Hails Court Ruling Blocking Domestic Abusers From Getting Guns."

You can access yesterday's ruling of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit at this link.
