re: #219 Obdicut

Sure it’s open to abuse. But we know that divorce is one of the most traumatic events that you can go through, we know it messes with your head. When you know someone is headed towards a period of huge mental stress, I don’t think it’s unreasonable to ask them to put their guns aside during it.

Or gun laws focus far too much, I believe, on the point of purchase and not enough on the ‘bearing’ of the arms, the responsibility of ownership.

And I’d like to note the slippery slope is sometimes true, and sometimes a fallacy.

The problem is that the majority of domestic violence does not occur within the framework of a divorce scenario.
