Domestic violence conviction? No gun for you! I can't imagine any gun owners disagreeing with that. It isn't like we don't already do that for felonies.

Law abiding gun owners get to keep their guns, asshats that are abusive don't. It's virtually certain it isn't their first time abusing. The abuser has to train both the person he's abusing to take it and himself to give it. You don't choose Everest as your first mountain to climb, you don't pull a gun and shoot your wife out of the blue.
