Since you seem to be so skeptical, perhaps you can explain what business the federal government has with domestic violence cases. What is wrong with letting local police departments handle the problem?

If they will, that is a great idea. Some of they like to look the other way. Or how about giving the guy who has a protection order out against him his GUNS back!!! If the guys at the local level cannot be counted on, who is there to keep them in line? When they do deal with it, there is still the need for laws to back them up.
