just to remind my colleague, this measure doesn't pertain only to dangerous felons. It protects innocent women against dangerous people. There is already the provision for protective orders to provide that kind of safeguard after a period of time.

It is a public safety measure that is particularly relevant because of the hostility expressed by this nominee to commonsense steps in the name of a very extreme view under the Second Amendment
