I smell big rats with this one.

In 1994, congress passed the “Violence Against Women Act”, which *federalized* domestic violence laws in some cases. Then they immediately, and two years later, made changes to the federal gun control law outlawing possession of guns by those convicted by VAWA.

This suggests that it may have been done as a backdoor form of gun control.

So the way out of this federal sneak might be found at the state level, in *renaming* domestic abuse laws, to make them again state law only. Likely keeping the existing laws on the books, but making it clear that they are not to be enforced.

Well, given the statute in the article above and it's really broad meaning, they could modify the VAWA to include the 'temporary damage' to the woman's genitalia from giving birth to apply to everyone who has been born in a natural birth… the scar from a cesarean is also proof of damage to a woman.

This would then make everyone a violator, and therefore prohibited from firearms.
