RINO Rep. Dan Donovan<\/a> introduced a new gun control bill<\/a>:<\/p>\n

“… 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 …”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I doubt this is that much of an issue.<\/p>\n

They want to lower the bar for ways to prohibit gun ownership.\u00a0 Trying to make gun control a “women’s issue” is something that has been going on for some time in Albany.<\/p>\n

From Donovan’s press release<\/a>:<\/p>\n

“… \u201cGuns 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,\u201d said former Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords<\/a>, co-founder of Americans for Responsible Solutions<\/a>. \u201cThis bill won\u2019t stop every act of violence, but it does represent a major step forward that will help make women and their families safer …”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The caveat is for when this scheme fails and they need an excuse for even more restrictions.<\/p>\n

Text of the bill is not yet online<\/a>.<\/p>\n
