From Fox News. They didn't cite the actual case name, but I'm sure someone here knows it.

Well, that's a complex case. Even if SCOTUS doesn't over turn his PP status, he's still likely to be in trouble for selling guns and his wife might be on the hook for making straw purchases. Think Progress pretty obviously has it's panties in a wad, but for all the wrong reasons. As usual.
A lower federal court overturned (or refused to convict, not sure which) on a felon in possession charge because the misdemeanor domestic violence charge did not involve any violence. If he wins, it will require that domestic charges be classified as violent or non-violent (although that will not stop MA from classifying them all as violent for the purposes of the MA PP statute).
The only impact on MA residents will be on a person who has a non-violent domestic misdemeanor - if the defendant wins, it means such a person could only be convicted on state charges if in possession.
