Laws that prohibit persons under a domestic violence restraining order from purchasing or possessing a firearm are a primary way to keep guns out of the hands of batterers. In July 2005, the California Attorney General's Task Force on the Local Criminal Justice Response to Domestic Violence issued a report called Keeping the Promise: Victim Safety and Batterer Accountability. The report focused, in part, on the extent to which California's domestic violence restraining order system succeeds in disarming batterers. Restraining orders are the principal means by which the criminal justice system can accomplish this objective. The Task Force found that criminal justice agencies and the courts performed poorly in this area. The report strongly recommended that a more strategic, collaborative use of laws already on the books could significantly improve performance, without much additional expense. What follows is a summary of those finding and recommendations.
禁止受家庭暴力限制令约束的人购买或持有枪支的法律，是防止枪支落入施暴者手中的主要方式。2005年7月，加利福尼亚州总检察长关于地方刑事司法对家庭暴力反应的特别工作组发布了一份名为《信守承诺：受害者安全与施暴者问责》的报告。该报告部分聚焦于加利福尼亚州的家庭暴力限制令系统在解除施暴者武装方面的成效。限制令是刑事司法系统实现这一目标的主要手段。特别工作组发现，刑事司法机构和法院在这一领域表现不佳。该报告强烈建议，更具战略性地协同使用现有法律，可显著提高成效，且无需太多额外费用。以下是这些调查结果和建议的总结。
