Very simple Tom. Most cases of domestic violence do not involve any weapon. When a weapon is use, the weapon most used is not a firearm. This is more about fear of guns than common sense. Also, unlike taking a license away, driving is not a constitutional right. Self-defense is. The statistics do not show that most domestic abusers will kill their significant other, with a gun or anything else. If all domestic violence, or even the majority of it, ended in death, I would be on your side. This is simply not the case and these bills are more about gun control than protecting victims of domestic violence. Quite simply Tom, since the majority of deaths in domestic violence are not from objects other than guns, why the focus on guns? Because you can't outlaw knives and blunt objects. In other words, this is an easy solution that does not have scientific or statistical backing. Its emotional. Its fear of guns.
