Domestic violence: The next front in gun-control fight - CNN.com
Washington (CNN) -- The scene is intense: A man is ferociously knocking on a door while a woman inside the house calls 911, saying that her ex is trying to break in. A child sits on the couch.
The man bursts in and grabs the child, and the woman yells not to take the toddler. The man pulls out a gun. A shot rings out, and the screen goes black. A child cries out.
The violent domestic scenario is only a television ad from a gun control group, but it attempts to portray what some women face. It also depicts the next front in the gun control debate.
Is the problem guns or DOMESTIC VIOLENCE and how society reacts to such?

Too many times I see the victim ignored, or blamed 'because she stayed in the relationship". I've heard it far too much, I still hear it from those who do not understand the cycle of domestic violence.
Men ( and women) will abuse, kill, etc without a gun. They set their victims on fire, douse them in acid, stab them, strangle them, beat them to death, etc. Guns do not cause domestic violence, policy and ignorance of facts contribute, while the over all problem is education about why women stay , be they cultural or otherwise add to the violence.
