But some say the act doesn’t do enough. Rep. Debbie Dingell, D-Mich., said it falls short of protecting women from potentially dangerous dating partners or stalkers because it does not close the so-called “boyfriend loophole.” Spouses convicted of domestic abuse cannot own a gun, but boyfriends can. Republicans, led by Ernst, fought to keep a provision that would change that out of the final bill, saying it violates the Second Amendment. |

| Why dont these politicians get it, laws dont protect people, never have and never can. They only allow society to hold people accountable for breaking these laws. Its not that hard a concept. |

TO REMEMBER |
| After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
