Everytown, an organization which advocates for gun safety, published this infographic, as well as a report on how the US’s weak gun laws put domestic violence victims at risk. It found that:
- Federal law does not keep guns out of the hands of abusive dating partners or convicted stalkers.
- Many state gun laws fail to protect domestic violence victims.
- Federal law and the law in most states, allows domestic abusers and stalkers to easily evade gun prohibitions by purchasing guns from unlicensed, private sellers.
- Forty-one states do not require all prohibited domestic abusers to relinquish guns they already own.
