RINO Rep. Dan Donovan introduced a new gun control bill:
“… The Zero Tolerance for Domestic Abusers Act … would bar convicted stalkers from owning firearms and require that people found to have abused dating partners are blocked from purchasing or possessing firearms as well … The proposed legislation would also clarify existing law to ensure that convicted stalkers are prohibited from legally purchasing a firearm. Current federal law does not prohibit persons convicted of misdemeanor stalking from owning a gun …”
I doubt this is that much of an issue.
They want to lower the bar for ways to prohibit gun ownership. Trying to make gun control a “women’s issue” is something that has been going on for some time in Albany.
“… “Guns and domestic violence are a deadly, tragic mix. Every 16 hours a woman is fatally shot in our country by an ex-spouse or intimate partner. As a nation, we should be outraged,” said former Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, co-founder of Americans for Responsible Solutions. “This bill won’t stop every act of violence, but it does represent a major step forward that will help make women and their families safer …”
The caveat is for when this scheme fails and they need an excuse for even more restrictions.
Text of the bill is not yet online.
