Prohibited people under federal law include convicted felons, persons who are convicted of misdemeanor crime of domestic violence, any person who is subject to a an order of protection from a court that restrains them from stalking, harassing, or making contact with someone in a domestic relationship.
Fugitives from justice or persons under a federal indictment are prohibited people. Unlawful users or people who are addicted to or habitual users of controlled substances cannot own or possess a firearm.
Individuals who are adjudicated as mentally defective or committed to mental institutions are prohibited.
Illegal aliens and non-immigrant visa holders are also prohibited.
Any person dishonorably discharged from the United States Armed Forces, uh any person who has renounced their US citizenship, all of those are prohibited people. And a final category that we want to warn you about is juveniles.
Any adult who provides a handgun or a handgun ammunition to a juvenile violates federal law.
And we are actively investigating and looking for those cases to prosecute.
If you provide a firearm to a juvenile, you will be held responsible under federal law.
