This bill is absent in the protection department and long on 'rhetoric' as it is rooted in anti-gun philosophy. Same bill as H.R.3207 (FOAC Bill No. HB3207)
This language expands the term of 'Domestic Violence' to dating and requires Zero Tolerance with gun bans.
Title: Protecting Domestic Violence and Stalking Victims Act of 2017
