No. Scalia did not say anything at all about that. He did write that long standing laws that prohibited felons from possession were presumptively constitutional.
Someone convicted of a misdemeanor domestic violence violation is not a felon.

Try a conviction of common law battery that carried only a small fine, until years later the State changed the sentence to an indeterminate sentencing of up to 3 years. See
Schrader v. Holder for that one.
