Domestic Violence Gun Ban: An Analysis of Interest-Group Conflict

Larry Nackerud

Bonnie Yegidis

This article analyzes the conflict between two interest groups—advocates for battered women and advocates for law enforcement personnel— that has arisen over P.L. 104-208, which prohibits those who have been convicted of domestic violence from possessing and carrying guns. The article describes the evolution of responses to domestic violence, presents a brief history of the battered women's movement, and discusses the stances of the two interest groups in relation to public policy.
