Firearms play an important role in lethal domestic violence incidents. The authors review state laws regarding two policies to separate batterers from firearms: laws authorizing police to remove firearms when responding to a domestic violence complaint ("police gun removal laws") and laws authorizing courts to order guns removed from batterers through a protective order ("court-ordered removal laws"). As of April 2004, 18 states had police gun removal laws; 16 states had court-ordered removal laws. The authors examine relevant characteristics of the laws and recommend that these laws be mandatory, apply to all guns and ammunition possessed by an abuser, and include clear procedures to enhance implementation.
枪支在致命的家庭暴力事件中起着重要作用。作者回顾了各州关于将施暴者与枪支分开的两项政策的法律:授权警方在回应家庭暴力投诉时收缴枪支的法律(“警方枪支收缴法律”)和授权法院通过保护令命令从施暴者手中收缴枪支的法律(“法院命令收缴法律”)。截至2004年4月,18个州有警方枪支收缴法律;16个州有法院命令收缴法律。作者研究了这些法律的相关特征,并建议这些法律应具有强制性,适用于施虐者拥有的所有枪支和弹药,且包括明确的程序以加强实施。
