    Person most likely to murder a women? Her partner.

    Of more than 10,000 women killed between 2003 and 2014, the CDC found that 55 percent were murdered at the hand of a male partner. Previous research found that only 5 to 7 percent of male murder victims died at the hand of a romantic partner, as The Atlantic notes. The report also found that about a third of female victims killed by their partners had recently been in an argument with them, and that 15 percent of victims killed by their partners were pregnant. Most of the murders involved guns.

    There’s a clear humanitarian case for keeping firearms out of the hands of domestic abusers, since domestic abusers frequently use those firearms to kill their partners, who are often women. But it’s tough to get society at large to demonstrate that it cares much for women as a population. It’s tougher still to get society at large to give a damn about marginalized women. (Black women, by the way, are most likely to be killed by current or former intimate partners.)

    Hurting women isn’t just a leading indicator for killing women. Domestic abuse is a warning sign for a host of other types of violence, from terrorism to mass shootings. Quite simply, research is showing that spousal abuse isn’t a private matter that exists within the walls of a home. Leaving it unchecked is dangerous to society at large.
    The Person Most Likely to Murder a Woman? Her Romantic Partner.

    This isn't very surprising, but I did find it interesting that the article proposes placing limits on known domestic abusers from obtaining firearms. Maybe it is already in place, but it's hard to convict a domestic abuser so they may manage to escape criminal charges that would show up on any background check. It would seem a violation of a person's rights to be placed on some kind of list as a possible threat based on previous medical records or whatever.

    Anyways, this is one of the reasons I find the whole "GOP war on women" schtick to be nonsense. I would consider basic safety to trump reproductive rights on the priority list, and I am a fairly adamant pro-choice liberal.

    I just spent three years involved in saving a young woman from her husband (Mrs. U's nephew). He brought this beautiful young woman from Poland, pregnant. We always thought that she was somewhat submissive. We always thought that he was a butthole. She wore long sleeves and long pants in 90 degree temperature and we thought that she dressed odd. One day, I was sitting at home and she called and wanted to know 'how to get charges against her husband dismissed'. Apparently, he threw her down the stairs and was kicking her in the front yard and she rant to the police. That started a three year battle for this woman and her children. She'd leave him, go into hiding, then go back. She'd leave him, go into hiding, then go back. She'd leave him, go into hiding, then go back. The Court took the three kids b/c of the violence they witnessed. I reached out to her family in Poland b/c I wanted to make sure they were aware and that the first time I met them wasn't at her funeral. We were being told by law enforcement that he'd kill her.

    It took three years. Countless court orders. She is free and never going back. That beautiful confident young woman is slowly coming back. He's still a monster. Yes, I agree that this is true -- the partner is most likely to harm a woman.

    I'm pretty sure abuse is even higher among gay couples , including Lesbians. Perhaps they don't kill as often as male parnters percentage wise or perhaps the article deliberately ignored Lesbian abuse? I don't know.

    I'm not denying the content of these facts. However, if you break up these murders and assaults by race, a much different picture appears.

    It is already federal law that a person convicted of even a misdemeanor offense of domestic violence is prohibited from purchasing or possessing a firearm.

    Not surprising. Have you ever lived with a woman?

    Yes, there is a law that strips gun rights from people who are convicted of domestic abuse. If the judge writes the decision correctly, it even applies with misdemeanors and “do not contact” orders.

    I hope "do not contact orders" require more proof than "orders of protection". Which are meant as a temporary intervention until the court can rule, but often are not treated as such.

    As for gun rights , the plain fact is a gun in the home should be a equalizer. Most hetro men and even many dominate lesbians don't need a gun if they really want to kill their partner
