A criminal case has been reinstated against a Cibola County man facing federal charges of possessing firearms in violation of a 50-year domestic violence protective order from a family court in Hawaii.

A U.S. District Court judge in New Mexico had dismissed the indictment after finding it violated the Second Amendment rights of James Oliver Reese of Milan, N.M., to bear arms.

But the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Denver reversed the ruling by Senior Judge John Edwards Conway and sent the case back to him for further proceedings.

I think the 10th circuit has a screw loose. Since when was the federal law prohibiting firearms to those convicted of domestic violence made retro-active?
