2. Three DV accusations from three different sources equals a history to me conviction or no

Tue Apr 30, 2013, 10:09 AM

Apr 2013

Let the burden be placed on him to prove he is capable of being a responsible gun owner.

Are you really okay with his having kept his CWP under the circumstances, no questions asked? He has to kill four people before you consider revoking it? That says it all right there. No reasonable compromise possible, I guess.

So background checks and psychological profiles. Criminal history or no. If you have a history of violent behavior and/or serious problems (including as a juvenile), no CWP and no right to possess a gun. 3 accusations of DV from three different women? I don't give a shit about innocent until proven guilty. The burden of proving he is responsible enough to own a gun should now shift to him. As it is, you could have multiple arrests for violent behavior and never lose your gun rights.
