LAS VEGAS (AP) - The shotgun killing of a Las Vegas woman on a neighbor’s doorstep as she fled from her ex-husband and pleaded for help illustrates a deadly trend found in a study of the link between firearms and domestic violence-related homicides, gun-control advocates say.

Everytown for Gun Safety and the Nevada Network Against Domestic Violence released a survey this week that they said shows women in Nevada are far more likely to be fatally shot by an intimate partner than women in other states.

"....released a survey this week that they said shows women in Nevada...." Oh, more scientific evidence as to why all terrified Nevadans should vote for Initiative #1 on the Nov. ballot. No doubt if intergalactic background checks had been in effect this assclown would NEVER have killed the lady. Right? I really don't like these liars.

Any link between a certain religion and killing? Nah, that would have to be discounted.

Any link between a certain religion and killing?

In Southern Nevada, it's Hispanics (Mainly Illegals) and Blacks.

Not so much the ROP. Yet.

I believe in very severe and strict gun control.

I believe that no registered or voting Democrat should own, possess, transport, or take possession of any firearm.

Think of the lives saved.

(I’m serious.)

My guess is that more married women in Nevada once worked in Sin City, gaming, prostitution or racketeering and met their husbands in those venues.

Need to know more. I doubt the shotgun was the problem.
