Parts of INGO have always been in favor of that.Just a dumb question. Is INGO now advocating lifetime disarmament of whole classes of people, without redress?
DD = Felony conviction.
Many of those were probably DD'd for Homosexuality, which used to be at the top of the list for DD.
When did “INGO” say that?Just a dumb question. Is INGO now advocating lifetime disarmament of whole classes of people, without redress?

A 2011 Obama administration policy generally grants an honorable discharge to any veteran who was kicked out for homosexuality unless there were “aggravating” factors, such as misconduct. Records from the Department of Defense show 80 percent of the nearly 500 requests submitted since 2011 received an upgrade.
If you are blocked by NICS, can you seek redress?
(Are you interrogated by Jethro Leroy Biggs?)
Without redress?

I’m not saying its super simple, but there is redress.
all DDs come from GCMs. SpCM can only go to BCD.I'm confused by the Venn diagram issue.
A certain percentage of dishonorable discharges are because of felonies. Maybe even most. But where is it written that ALL DDs are equivalent to felony convictions, even the ones that don't have a general court martial?
(Look, it may be true, I'm just not familiar with it.)

Normally a dishonorable discharge involved something more than simply being a homosexual. That may be a discharge “other than honorable” (OTH) or bad conduct (BCD). Some may even have been a general discharge.So a DD for homosexuality is/was a GCM? I did not know that.

I was familiar with the general discharge nomenclature for non-criminal discharges. That's why I was confused by the assertion that a discharge for being gay, or acting gay, would be a DD or equivalent to a felony.
If this were an issue I'm sure that the gay community would be, so to speak, up in arms over it.I was familiar with the general discharge nomenclature for non-criminal discharges.

The short answer is "I don't know". The UCMJ really doesn't work that way. Gay prior to don't ask, don't tell = a General Discharge is not how it worked. There are separation codes on the DD Form 214 Part 4, but as far as the type of discharge? Commanders have significant latitude on characterization of discharge. They receive advice from JAGs (actually SJA, Staff Judge Advocates) but the organization commander will make the call.Hey, I never doubted your credentials.
So, which kind of separation from service would a homosexual usually get?
