English Dictionary

boyfriend loophole

名詞

アメリカ英語

(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.

日本語の意味

（アメリカの法律における用語）元彼やストーカーが、過去の暴力行為や保護命令の履歴があっても、銃の所持ができる法の抜け穴を指す。通常、家庭内暴力の被害者が配偶者や同居者、または子供を共有している場合にのみ銃所持が禁止されるが、この抜け穴により、元彼の場合はその規制が適用されず、銃の所持が可能となる。

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.

支援者たちは、元交際相手やストーカーが前科や接近禁止命令があっても銃を入手できてしまうというアメリカの銃規制の抜け穴が多くの被害者を守れていないと主張している。
