摘要
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 (if 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.
