“is domestic abuse a federal crime? therefore they are required to surrender their guns and ban from buying a gun”
Due process here would be probable cause, arrest, arraignment, trial, conviction, THEN you can talk about confiscating private property.

Unconstitutional, an accusation is not the same as a conviction.
Insufficient due process...

This has been going on in Marxachusetts for donkey’s years.
A nasty and/or vindictive wife can tell police, “He threatened me...” and the police search for and confiscate all weapons.
More to the point, the guns have to be stored somewhere, and if police don’t store them in their limited, small town headquarters buildings, then someone ele has to do it - at some cost.
If the husband can’t pay the cost, the guns are forfeit and sold. Say goodb-bye to your firearms, all because your wife felt like getting her jones by punishing you and getting a little payback for slights real or imagined with confiscation of your treasured possessions.
And all of it’s anti-constitutional nonsense on the part of anti-gunners, because they don’t take away knives, hammers, household chemicals or anything else such as that.

Hispanics are really crazed when it comes to passion.
They historically resort to fire when they wish to kill someone.
Happy Land Social Club Fire was caused by a jilted boyfriend who killed 87 people in his rage.
It occurred in March 1990 and killer is eligible for parole in November 2016. No gun was involved.

All a person has to say is their deranged boyfriend/girlfriend/husband/wife arrived to their place waving a gun before screaming:
"...He / She said they were also going to kill themselves at their home if we were not together..."
It essentially gives police a green light to "toss" a house for the general safety of the population, even though everything is fabricated and would be very hard to disprove.
If one looks hard enough in most American households, a firearm will eventually be found.

So a mere allegation suspends your rights?
No Due Process? No presumption of innocence?

Hell, a CO of P right now gets your guns confiscated. All you need is a neighbor wanting to bust your balls and filing one on you. The filer doesn’t even need to go to court over it.
Police come to your house and its all over for your guns.
Guilty until proven innocent.

It is a decisive blow against marriage and BOTH genders.
If someone has a lover they want gone, but they ain't got the guts.
Now they just pick up the phone and let police do their dirty deeds.

The goal is to punish gun owners for owning guns whether they have done anything wrong or not.

The goal is to take guns from non-violent citizens and leave them in the hands of violent criminals.

...nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process of law...
That's two out of three they are taking. Not that silly documents like the Constitution matter to them.

while on the surface, this might seem like the right thing to do- it is now the courts and police who get to determine what ‘violent’ means- A man slaps his wife? Violent, a woman slaps a man? violent- a man shoves a woman? ‘violent’ a woman is on anti-depressents? ‘potential for violent behavior’ Someone calls is a ‘potential domestic abuse’ situation? ‘Violent incident’

With a 24 hour window, I would pile everything in the car and drive to an adjacent state (NOT Massachusetts!), where I would rent a storage unit.
At that point, the marriage is over. A threat to my weapons is completely unforgivable. Divorce is inevitable after a blow that low, and there can be no negotiation or forgiveness after crossing that line.
