Misdemeanor gun ownership refers to the unlawful possession or ownership of firearms by individuals who have been convicted of certain misdemeanors. In many jurisdictions, individuals with misdemeanor convictions related to domestic violence, drug offenses, or other specified crimes are prohibited from owning firearms. These restrictions aim to prevent individuals with a history of violence or criminal behavior from accessing firearms.
"Burglary" and "Theft" is burglary and theft - period. There are no enhanced penalites simply because of WHAT was stolen. HOWEVER - if by stealing firearms you run afoul of firearms laws (both state and/or federal) those violations can be added onto the burglary or theft charges as separate offenses - one charge for every illegal firearm possession (i.e.: steal 20 guns you could get charged with 20 separate offenses).
Regarding Domestic Violence convictions - Federal Law supersedes any state law and persons convicted of Domestic Violence offenses are prohibited from ever wonding or possessing firearms.
