Incredible.
Just. . . wow. . . .
And there are no current laws against that?
*shocked face*
If the laws worked why the need for a prevention office?
Isn't a law the same as prevention?
That's right so new laws are needed.
So new laws that are basically the same as the old laws just worded differently.
The Strengthening Protections for Domestic Violence and Stalking Survivors Act would:
Prevent those convicted of certain stalking offenses from purchasing firearms;
Clarify that abusive dating partners subject to certain court orders are treated the same as an abusive spouse;
Update the definition of “dating relationship” for purposes of federal firearm prohibitions to include “individuals who have or have had a continuing serious relationship of a romantic or intimate nature,” regardless of when the relationship occurred. The law currently requires that the dating relationship is “recent,” which could exclude abusers convicted of domestic violence against partners from a prior relationship.
