Lifetime Firearm Ban Less Severe Than Driver's License Suspension
There's an interesting case in the 8th Circuit regarding the right to a trial by jury as protected by the Sixth Amendment for domestic assault. What particularly piqued my interest was not the DUI charge, but rather a comparison that was made by the court when making a reference to existing Sixth Amendment case law.
In United States v. Jardee, the defendant was charged with assault and battery under 18 USC 113(a)(4). That crime carries a maximum six months of imprisonment and/or $5,000 fine, which makes it a Class B Misdemeanor and a petty offense under federal statutory law.
