To the Senator from Connecticut, most of the victims of guns in domestic violence are law enforcement officials responding to aid a domestic violence victim. In my own State there have been wonderful men in blue who came to a home to rescue someone who was being held or something by their spouse--often off their meds. When the police officer responded because it was domestic violence--not responding as if it were an active scene--he was also killed. Has that been the Senator's observation?
