Rep. David Cicilline on the terrifying ruling of the Fifth Circuit on #DomesticViolence offenders and #guns: “…the panel utterly disrespected survivors, victims, and their families, and the real dangers they face.”

Every month an average of 70 women are shot and killed by a current or former partner. This ruling jeopardizes the safety - and very lives - of domestic violence survivors. #DisarmDV

Lost in the alarm around the 5th Circuit's decision finding the federal law prohibiting persons subject to final domestic violence protective orders from having firearms violates the Second Amendment was a case from the Eastern District of Kentucky called United States v. Combs also finding the prohibition violates the Second Amendment. This is the murkiness of the Bruen test run amok. #domesticviolence #gunviolence #disarmdv #misogyny #BruenAbsurdity

BREAKING: the 5th Circuit finds that the federal prohibition on purchase and possession of firearms by persons subject to domestic violence protective orders violated the 2nd Amendment.

Every month an average of 70 women are shot and killed by an intimate partner (@Everytown). Where is the public outcry?

When there is a domestic violence homicide and law enforcement states there’s no threat to the general public - are these women not the general public? They were being threatened all along.

Mass shootings don’t only happen in public spaces. They happen in living rooms, kitchens, and bedrooms. We should be just as outraged by them. #BelieveSurvivors #DisarmDV
