As for His Esteemed Justice... can't say I ever liked his decisions. And, now, this? "The law bars someone found guilty of spousal abuse from owning a gun." In Canada, "nope" and the laws are clear on that. A spouse has to sign off on the Possession and Acquisition Licence (PAL) up front and the spouse can "rescind" that sign-off. And that's the way it should be until the offending spouse is divorced, repeat, DIVORCED, for a reasonable amount of time. What's a reasonable amount of time? I would GUESS at least a year.

Canada has good (mostly) gun laws. The US should look into what we do up here in the Great White Frozen.
