29. There are many

Maybe ERPO, maybe background checks (Domestic violence may show up), maybe gun storage laws that would at least slow down the abuser giving the family more time to defend themselves, and even slow down the abusers impulse. Maybe a waiting period. Many sensible gun laws may have saved this family. Without having all the information these are just a few. There is data to back it up too.
Having access to a gun makes it five times more likely that a woman will die at the hands of a domestic abuser
Polls show that a majority of Americans want Congress to pass commonsense gun laws.
These laws would not ban gun ownership or repeal the Second Amendment.
Proposals include raising the minimum age to buy semiautomatic weapons, banning high-capacity magazines, passing safe storage laws, and strengthening background checks.
A new gun reform bill, H.R. 7910, the Protecting Our Kids Act, is currently being debated in the Senate.
Studies show that gun reform measures could save thousands of lives every year.
