WASHINGTON, Aug. 21, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- One survivor had a gun held to her head until she swore she would never leave him. Another abuser shot and killed his domestic partner with her five young children nearby. Still, another survivor was savagely assaulted by her son's father and hospitalized for a month, suffering from multiple brain hematomas, teeth knocked out and severe facial fractures.

Key Points: 
  • These are only some of the stories supporting an amicus brief filed today by nearly 60 domestic violence advocacy organizations from across the country asking the U.S. Supreme Court to reverse a lower court ruling that struck down three decades of federal law banning abusers under a domestic violence protective order from owning a gun.
  • This first-hand telling of experiences from survivors of domestic violence collectively demonstrates that domestic violence abusers frequently engage in a pattern of abusive conduct that includes the use of firearms to control and terrorize their victims.
  • "Prohibiting abusers who are under civil domestic violence restraining orders from possessing firearms saves lives," said Melina Milazzo, deputy director of Public Policy at the National Network to End Domestic Violence (NNEDV).
  • "Research has demonstrated time and again the deadly intersection of domestic violence and firearms," said Gloria Aguilera Terry, chief executive officer of the Texas Council on Family Violence .
