To the Editor:
"Ruled a Threat to Family, but Allowed to Keep Guns" ("Bearing Arms" series, front page, March 18) is filled with tragic reminders of what we know all too well: survivors of intimate-partner violence are at great risk when they leave abusive relationships, and that risk is heightened when an abuser has a firearm.
The data show that passage of stronger laws on surrendering firearms (like the California law described in the article) and enforcement of existing ones can save lives. We should do everything we can at both the state and federal levels to secure speedy passage of such laws.
