“’Cruz also said he did not believe those convicted of domestic abuse should be allowed to buy a firearm’ “
3rd-wave feminists jump for joy. When they consider that a guy that lies about his wealth before a girl sleeps with him to be rape, then the threshold for domestic abuse is likely not going to be very high.
If she yells at you and you yell back, that's domestic abuse.

Look at how the US DOJ includes in their legal definition of "domestic violence":
Emotional Abuse: Undermining an individual's sense of self-worth and/or self-esteem is abusive. This may include, but is not limited to constant criticism, diminishing one's abilities, name-calling, or damaging one's relationship with his or her children.Let's say your wife asks you "Does this dress make me look fat?"
If you foolishly answer "yes", then per the DOJ you are guilty of domestic violence.
