Did not realize so many shooters had a history of it. Seems like a simple thing to legislate and can't even see it being very controversial.

If you are charged with domestic violence you should be immediately barred from owning a gun perhaps for a probationary period and if convicted for life.

Seems like a win win to me... But then I am not a big gun fan.
