I'm actually working on a national project right now to improve procedures to enforce federal, state, and tribal prohibitions on firearms possession for DV offenders. The followup often IS seriously lacking, and that's one of the main things we want to work on. Domestic violence and guns are a deadly combination. A gun in the home increases the likelihood of homicide for DV victims 500 percent. A DV victim is five times likelier to be killed when there is a gun in the home.
