Assemblywoman Cottie Petrie-Norris has expanded legislation to close a critical loophole in Gun Violence Restraining Orders (GVROs) to also cover Domestic Violence Restraining Orders (DVROs). AB 1057 will allow for ghost guns to be seized when an individual is deemed to be an extreme risk to themselves or others, or if a person has perpetrated abuse or threats of abuse.
“We have seen a horrific spike in the number of gun violence cases involving domestic violence during the COVID-19 Pandemic, which has only heightened the need to close loopholes in our gun safety laws,” said Assemblywoman Cottie Petrie-Norris (D-Laguna Beach). “By expanding AB 1057 to include DVROs, we can keep these DIY guns that look and kill like any other gun out of the hands of domestic violence perpetrators.”
