Quizzes for review
(US, law) A gap in American gun legislation that allows access to guns by physically abusive ex-boyfriends and stalkers with previous convictions or restraining orders—while individuals who have been convicted of, or are under a restraining order for, domestic violence are prohibited from owning a firearm, the prohibition only applies if the victim was the perpetrator's spouse or cohabitant, or if the perpetrator had a child with the victim.

Advocates argue that the boyfriend loophole leaves many survivors unprotected because abusive ex-partners and stalkers with prior convictions or restraining orders can still access firearms.
