The definition of misdemeanor crime of domestic violence in the Gun Control Act (GCA) includes any offense classified as a “misdemeanor” under federal, state or tribal law. In states that do not classify offenses as misdemeanors, the definition includes any state or local offense punishable by imprisonment for a term of 1 year or less or punishable by a fine.
