Gun Bill Strengthens Domestic Violence Protections, While Mayorkas Gives Abusers a Pass

Where's the outrage?

  • Secretary Mayorkas' efforts to give alien domestic abusers a pass in his (currently vacated) immigration enforcement guidelines have been roundly ignored
  • The Boyfriend Loophole
  • Under 18 U.S.C. § 922(d)(9), it is a federal crime for any individual to sell or dispose of a firearm or ammunition to anyone who "has been convicted in any court of a misdemeanor crime of domestic violence."
  • Section 12005 of the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act amended the second clause in the excerpt above by striking the "or" before "by a person" where highlighted, and inserting the following at the end: ", or by a person who has a current or recent former dating relationship with the victim".
  • Congress takes all domestic violence seriously to the degree that an individual threatens his or her Second Amendment rights by committing a domestic offense against any individual with whom the actor has or has had an intimate relationship.
