In this domestic-violence weapons-forfeiture appeal, we held that the person convicted of simple assault in municipal court, contrary to N.J.S.A. 2C:12-1(a), against a person protected under the Prevention of Domestic Violence Act (i.e., a person within the definition of �victim� set forth in N.J.S.A. 2C:25-19e), has committed a �misdemeanor crime of domestic violence� as defined under the Lautenberg Amendment to the federal Gun Control Act (18 U.S.C.A. __ 922 (g)(9). Reading the weapons return and forfeiture provisions contained in N.J.S.A. 2C:25-21d(3) and 18 U.S.C.A. __ 922(g)(9) in pai materia, we conclude that a person convicted of a misdemeanor crime of domestic violence prohibited by New Jersey law from possession of firearms that have been, at any point, shipped in interstate or foreign commerce, even if, as here, the domestic-violence restraining order has been dismissed.
