ex post facto laws

[Tim Nunan]

Question for the lawyers.

Article 1, Section 9 of the U.S. Constition states:
"No Bill of Attainder or ex post facto Law shall be passed."

Article 1, Section 10 states:
"No State shall... pass any Bill of Attaider, ex post facto Law..."

My question is how can one be denied the right to own/pocess a firearm for having been found guilty of domestic violence committed prior to the passage of the bill that did so?

Please don't take this to mean that I support domestic violence... I'm just curious how some one can be denied a right ex post facto when it explicitly prohibits that in the Constitution?
