You should have the right to blow away a person who violates a restraining order. Why is a restraining order granted to someone by a judge? What is the reason someone seeks one?
And was the person who violated warned?
These dual tragedies are extremely common in the United States. An incident in which an abuser kills their partner and then dies by suicide happens on average more than once a day, according to a separate study published last year. Of those tragedies, 93% involved a firearm and 95% were women killed by male partners.
Most perpetrators were legally barred from owning a firearm due to a domestic violence restraining order or conviction of a felony or misdemeanor charge of domestic violence.
A victim of domestic violence can get a restraining order against her abuser, legally barring the person from owning a gun, but a restraining order means very little if law enforcement doesn’t come to the house and remove all firearms.
“The laws work, but they don’t implement themselves.”
