Powerful Defense In Federal Weapons Crimes

- Have renounced their citizenship in the United States
- Have an order of protection against them
- Have a severe mental disorder or have been committed to a mental health facility
- Have been convicted of a felony criminal offense

People who meet the above criteria found in possession of a firearm or ammunition could face severe federal penalties.
