Capitol Briefing: Louisiana domestic violence bill gets unexpected pushback from gun lobby
From wire reports
A legislative proposal that would make it easier for victims of domestic violence to apply for a temporary restraining order has come under fire from Louisiana s powerful gun lobby though its proponents aren t exactly sure why.
House Bill 55 from New Orleans Democratic Rep. Aimee Adatto Freeman would remove the requirement that an application for a temporary restraining order include a notarized affidavit. Instead, it would allow applicants to provide a written affirmation, signed by a witness, that the facts included in the petition are true.
