I heard on the news yesterday that, in the last 10 years, the military has only submitted one domestic violence conviction to the FBIs database. The reason for this is because the military justice system does not have a separate domestic violence charge. It's covered under assault. So, if a soldier gets a bad conduct discharge for domestic violence, it goes into the records as an assault charge, which does not bar him from purchasing guns. A dishonorable discharge, for any reason, does bar soldiers from buying guns. That's a pretty big loophole that needs to be addressed.
