Governor Terry McAuliffe is promoting legislation that would take guns away from those accused of domestic violence.

The Educational Fund to Stop Gun Violence has released a report that claims that over half of the family and “intimate deaths” committed in Virginia in 2014 involved a firearm. According to the Beaumont Enterprise, the study found that 64 of the 109 domestic fatalities were carried out by a gun.

Gov. McAuliffe is using these numbers to argue that those who have committed domestic violence must not be allowed to own a gun. CBS reports that the governor has proposed four pieces of legislation to help curb domestic violence:

First, a law that would bar anyone placed under a protective from owning a gun, forcing them to turn over any firearms that they own.

The second law would bar anyone convicted of stalking, sexual battery or assault and battery from owning, purchasing or transporting a firearm.

Third, courts would be responsible for notifying those who have been placed under a protective order about the new gun restrictions.

Lastly, McAuliffe proposes legislation that would allow law enforcement to remove any firearms from the scene of domestic violence without a search warrant, as long as they have probable cause that the victim is in further danger.

    Domestic Violence is usually a felony. If a person is convicted of a Domestic Violence Felony, they can not purchase or own a fire arm under Federal law. What is this Person’s (?) point ?

    While I agree with what he’s doing, it seems kinda like “Heck of a job, Brownie” sending New Orleans a few buckets after Katrina. No doubt it will help, but the actual problem is SO much vaster than his remedy.

    Well, it’s a start.

    I am always stunned when I hear someone defend the abuser’s right to keep a gun, yet I see it almost daily. More than half of all mass shooters (4 or more victims in a single event) are domestic or family violence.

    Yet in the last year Nikki Haley, Chris Christie and Rick Snyder all vetoed legislation/funds that would deny abusers CCW.

    My last pay check was $7985 working 9-10 hours a
    week online.     My sisters friend has been averaging 16k for months
    now and she works about 18 hours a week.     I can’t believe how
    easy it was once I tried it out. This is what I do…

    The NRA war mongers need to be disarmed!

    When you get arrested for domestic abuse in Maine, the guns go with the police.
