Durbin, Duckworth Join Colleagues To Introduce Legislation To Protect Domestic Abuse Survivors From Gun Violence

Statement

"Lori Jackson, a mother of two, was a day away from obtaining a permanent restraining order against her abusive husband when a loophole allowed her abuser to purchase a firearm, which he would later use to murder her. We need the Lori Jackson -- Nicolette Elias Domestic Violence Survivor Protection Act to ensure that we close this dangerous loophole and restrict those with temporary restraining orders from purchasing a firearm."
