Gun Ban for Domestic Abusers and Stalkers
New rules aim to protect victims of domestic violence and stalking. They broaden the definitions of "intimate partner" and "misdemeanor crime of stalking," meaning more individuals convicted of these offenses will lose their right to possess firearms. This is intended to enhance the safety of at-risk individuals.
Key points
Expanding the definition of "intimate partner" to include dating partners and individuals subject to restraining orders, meaning more perpetrators of relationship violence will be prohibited from owning firearms.
Introducing "misdemeanor crime of stalking" as a basis for gun prohibition, protecting individuals who are harassed and stalked.
Individuals convicted of stalking, under specific conditions (e.g., had legal counsel or waived jury trial), will lose their right to possess firearms.
