A bill to help protect victims of domestic violence passed in Connecticut's House of Representatives on Wednesday.
By a 104-42 vote, the House sent House Bill 5054 on to the Senate for consideration. That bill would require those subject to temporary restraining orders to turn over their firearms to police or a federally licensed dealer.
According to Karen Jarmoc, president and chief executive of the Connecticut Coalition Against Domestic Violence, access to firearms in a domestic-violence situation increases the likelihood of homicide by 500 percent. |

TO REMEMBER |
| As an individual, I believe, very strongly, that handguns should be banned and that there should be stringent, effective control of other firearms. However, as a judge, I know full well that the question of whether handguns can be sold is a political one, not an issue of products liability law, and that this is a matter for the legislatures, not the courts. The unconventional theories advanced in this case (and others) are totally without merit, a misuse of products liability laws. — Judge Buchmeyer, Patterson v. Gesellschaft, 1206 F.Supp. 1206, 1216 (N.D. Tex. 1985) |
