The vast majority of murdered women are killed by a romantic partner (past or present). Many have been involved with the legal system before their murder. It seems obvious that someone convicted of DV should not have access to guns, but the courts often don’t take it seriously enough.

I am one who most definitely would not be here today if my first husband had been able to access a gun!!!

I believe gun ownership should be federally controlled licensing and the rules for all states should be the same. One of these rules would be to give up any gun license and weapons in any domestic dispute case. It might just save the lives of some women and men who beat women are not men rather they are bullies and cowards who never learned to use their words.
