End Gun Violence Act of 2023

This bill prohibits the sale or transfer of firearms or ammunition to anyone convicted of a "violent misdemeanor" within the past 5 years. It defines a "violent misdemeanor" as a state or federal offense involving physical force, a deadly weapon, or intent to cause injury. Key safeguards include requiring legal representation for the conviction to count, excluding expunged records unless civil rights restoration explicitly prohibits gun ownership, and applying only to convictions occurring 180 days after enactment. The law directly affects individuals with recent violent misdemeanor convictions, modifying federal gun law sections 922(d)(11) and 921(a)(38) to implement this ban.
