No one who has been abused should have to worry about their abuser getting a gun. As a result of today's judgment, victims of domestic violence and their families will continue to be able to rely on vital protections, just as they have for the past three decades.
Throughout my career, I have worked to prevent domestic abusers from buying guns and to protect all Americans from the threat of gun violence. Thirty years ago, I wrote the Violence Against Women Act, and as President, I strengthened that law and secured its highest-ever funding. I signed the bipartisan Safer Communities Act, which narrowed the so-called "boyfriend gap" so that partners who are dating and have been convicted of domestic violence cannot buy a firearm. And I've taken dozens of executive actions to strengthen gun safety and end gender-based violence.
Vice President Harris and I remain firmly committed to ending violence against women and ensuring Americans are safe from gun violence. We will continue to urge Congress to further strengthen support and protections for victims and take action to end the epidemic of gun violence that is dividing our communities.
