        If there's a domestic dispute going on, and a gun is present, well, it's easy to see where that will go. 
And it needs to be stopped.

        From owning a firearm, including the great state of Texas. There are consequences for committing a felony.

        Is there a mechanism for removing guns form those housholds?  Is it implimented?  The answer is yes on one and no the other.  
What good are words if works don't follow?
