Joe Biden Wants To Close the 'Boyfriend Loophole.' Here's What That Means.

If I'm understanding this correctly, this is an expansion of the Violence Against Women Act. Which allows for federal prosecutors to consider 'boyfriends' partners when limiting their rights because of past convictions against them. Specifically in regards to domestic violence, and specifically in regards to gun-ownership. With the verbiage of the Act calling 'domestic violence' something as minor as 'offensive touching'. Which I assume is up to a judge to define.

Reading for worse case scenario, someone that you went on one date with that was offended you touched their back, could prevent you from ever owning a gun. It seems mostly to deal with legally owning a firearm. And mostly by expanding the definition of 'domestic partner' to be anyone you've dated or had sexual relations with.

So it seems america and canada are going to destroy the right to own guns using methods claiming to increase safety for women. Rip gun rights. The west is so gynocentric that they will gladly destroy liberties and bring a totalitarian government (which is going to cause alot of harm to women as well) by abusing the west's overprotective tendencies towards women.

Never mind that all a woman has to do to secure a protective order is nod a judge's way and she gets it.

This sounds bad, but the article has a clear bias, and while that doesn’t automatically make it wrong, it makes it hard to see with only the facts.

There's a "violence against women" act? Surely it's "violence against humans"?
