This bill, thirdly, also takes away gun rights in 2 cases: One with ex parte orders of protection; that is when a woman, like myself, would go in to see a Justice of the Peace; we would get an order of protection. Under this bill, the perpetrator's gun rights would be taken away, even though they weren't there in court. Also, it would take away someone's gun rights if they were convicted of a misdemeanor, which is very rare. So, again, I don't think this bill is going to get heard in the U.S. Senate, which, I hope that my friends on the other side of the aisle-- this is an important issue to all of us, and I hope that we can work together so it is something that I can support, something that we all can support, because it is a really important issue.
