I think it's really important that we recognize that police have so much power and that there is a disproportionate amount of domestic violence within families of law enforcement officers.
We as an organization are one of the few organizations in the country that have a specific program for victims of police-involved domestic violence. We see dozens of victims from all across the country. The weapon is definitely used in terms of coercive control, the weapon in the house and the way that the abusive partner uses the weapon to maintain power and control and to terrorize, both in the sense of while the relationship is in effect but also when the survivor leaves.
It is quite concerning to us, if this remains in the bill and if there isn't action taken on this specifically to recognize the fact that gun ownership is a privilege, that it is not something that should given...and that it should be revoked 100% when we're talking about law enforcement.
