The NRA blocked expanding the law to "dating partners" because, and the spokesperson really said this, "it could apply after only one date." So it's OK to beat someone on the first date? Really? That's all ya got?

The NRA also objected to categorizing strangulation as an act of violence. So go ahead, choke her into unconsciousness but don't hit her unless it's on the first date, then have at it.
============

Your OP was about expanding the definition of DV and protections to non-spousal partners. Yes, that is exactly what needs to happen but it is the stated position of the NRA to oppose any expansion or re-definition of DV. That's what I meant when I said "convince the NRA".

I'm with you, it's the NRA and frankly a lot of the regulars in this group that oppose you.
