If a person is aware of a felony murder in Georgia and does not report it can he be charged with misprison of a felony as a State offense or does it have to be a Federal Charge?
'Misprision of Felony,' is the like the concealment of a felony. BUT you must not have given ANY type of assistance to the perpetrator WHATSOEVER, in the commission of the crime (or afterwards), because if it can be proven that you did, you become an "Accessory After The Fact" and can be charged with the offense. This particular crime can be charged as a FEDERAL offense under USC, Title 18, if the original crijme was a federal offense. If not, Georgia and all other states have similarly worded offenses (misprision) on their statute books. MISPRISION OF FELONY (Federal) - Whoever, having knowledge of the actual commission of a felony cognizable by a court of the U.S., conceals and does not as soon as possible make known the same to some judge or other person in civil or military authority under the U.S. 18 USC. http://www.lectlaw.com/def2/m034.htm

Can a person get their gun rights back after a domestic violence conviction?
YesYou must be kidding!!! Under federal law, 18 USC 921 (33), any person convicted of a domestic violence (DV) charge, felony or misdemeanor, is not allowed to own any firearm. There is an exception if the charge is vacated under state law, and the state law is either silent about or allows the restoration of firearm rights. Check with your state.
