In the case that a man or woman physically harms someone to the point of police intervention, that person should then not be able to own a gun, or even be around a gun. This is just the same as a Sexual Predator who, after convicted, can not live within a certain amount of feet of a school or daycare. They are both the same type of crime; abusing somebody. Therefore, adequate future protection should be set in place for both crimes, not just one.

Both crimes are harming another life. One is sexual. The other is domestic. But they are both abuse. The reason the sexual predator has a set jurisdiction stating where or where not it can live is because there is a high risk of the sexual predator repeating this crime, maybe even to a more dangerous extent, a deadly extent.

By having the child close by, as thought of by some, is like dangling candy in front of a little kids face. By simply removing the children from the equation, which by the predator having to abide by certain jurisdictions, this ensures that future occurrences are minimized and hopefully ceased. We know this does not hold true one-hundred percent of the time, but what we do know is that it minimizes the chances of the predator re-offending.

On the same note, a domestic abuser's likely hood of re-offending is just the same as a sexual predator's. That is why there is no wonder as to why one questions why there is not a law set in place for domestic abusers. A domestic abuser will re-offend just as often as a sexual abuser offends. Only logic deems a restricted gun law for domestic abusers.

Society deems the man who rapes a five year old once to be a man who will do it again, but will probably cover his trail as to not get caught by a snitching child, by murdering that child. I see no reason society should overlook an individual who has been charged with domestic abuse as being a person of threat when carrying a gun. As the man who rapes once will rape again, but be more violent or deadly, the same goes for a person who domestically abuses. They could very well just shoot someone's head off if they had a gun, rather than just beating it to a bloody pulp.

If this law were to pass, it would be there for societies protection. Not as a means for the Governemt to yet again "control" us even further.
