Obviously the OP wants us to think that if you get rid of guns you end domestic violence.
Actually, my point is: If there is a history of domestic violence, get rid of the guns! Any suspicion of domestic violence should mandate confiscation of all guns otherwise, someone's life is at high risk!
Wow, this is wrong on so many levels. Only prison inmates, illiterate hood rats and violent drug addicts beat their wives or girlfriends?
You obviously have no understanding or knowledge of the dynamics or types of people involved in that type of relationship.
I was in one for 15 years; it took me five of those years just to get away without being murdered. And, yes, he held a gun to my head toward the end of our 'relationship'. Luckily for me and my children I managed to get away safely, but it was never a sure thing. Even more than 20 years later I don't feel safe, and the flashbacks are a ******.
'He' was a well educated (masters degree) person.
Oh, yeah, I am not brain dead. And if you think that if these people had no wife/girlfriend they wouldn't be violent, well, you're delusional. Just LOVE that 'blame the victim' mentality!
Thank you for sharing this insight. Too many still blame the victim and the Taliban has nothing on those who do.
The only point I can derive from the OP is that women should not live with violent men, and vice versa.
I want to increase awareness of the problems faced by those who are in an abusive relationship.
It is not as easy to leave as one might ignorantly believe. In fact, it is the time that a victim's life is at highest risk!
Quote:
The DVDRC found that in 81% of the reviewed cases of domestic homicide, the couple was either separated or in the process of separating. This shows that victims are most vulnerable and at risk for death when they have left or plan to leave the abuser. But why does leaving an abusive relationship put a victim at greater risk for being killed? The motive for post-separation violence, including death, has been grouped into three categories: retaliation, restoration, and reconciliation.
What I see is at least one liberal (you) who has a problem understanding that a person is innocent until proven guilty. And if proven to be a guilty felon, are not allowed by law to own a firearm. Domestic abusers are afforded the opportunity to defend themselves in a court of law just like anyone else. So, if not proven to be a felon, what's your angle here?
The time it takes to have a trial, etc...., the woman/victim will be dead!
