Stop Lying to yourself About Being That “Good Guy With A Gun” by STEVE MARMEL

[Just Saying]

158. No one was disputing that domestic violence increased acts of gun violence in the home.

But you're coming dangerously close to blaming the victims. Do you know the most dangerous time for a domestic violence victim? When she's trying to leave. Like most issues, it's not so simple.

The study also showed a 3 fold increase in homicide risk when there's a gun in the home which increases to 8 fold when offender is intimate partner or relative. Those stats are separate from the 20 fold stat.

I'm sure there is a large lump of people between "normal and happy" and domestic violence. Can you show any study that says there are always predictors to gun violence in the home? How about which states bar domestic violence offenders from gun ownership?

And also I would still like to know how many guns used in domestic violence are illegal.

On a personal note, I don't know the law here in Ohio but, a very good friend's mother was abused for years. They had an altercation and a son called the police who came and did remove guns from their home. The next day, he went out and bought a new gun, went to her job and killed her in the parking lot in broad daylight. Now, you can blame her for staying but I can certainly blame the system for making it way too easy for him to get a dangerous weapon.
