Just going by what you posted- the State law makes it illegal for someone to possess a fire arm if they have been convicted of a misdemeanor crime of domestic abuse- the federal law makes it illegal to sell or give someone a firearm if they have been so convicted.

Significant difference.

Though- it is pretty common for state laws to be passed that virtually duplicate federal laws- such as drug possession laws.

Can my gun rights be taken away if I am convicted of a minor crime of domestic violence?
Yes! Most people know that it is a federal crime to possess a firearm if you have been convicted of a felony. However, it is also illegal to possess a firearm if you are convicted of a crime of domestic violence, even if it is only a misdemeanor. Further, you will not be able to purchase a gun if a criminal background check shows a misdemeanor domestic violence conviction.

Now, if you want to avoid being seen as a damned fool, you just have to find the part of the federal law that says a state cannot be more stringent than the federal law.
