My question is: how hard is it for someone to get a protective order in the first place? What if the abuse victim threatens her abuser and then is the abuser able to get a protective order and then a gun? What is the burden on the person getting the protective order to demonstrate a need for it? OMG do I sound like an MRA person now?

They really need a democratic hero to take the obvious position: while introducing a bill that restricts handgun ownership to members of state-recognized militia, holds up a gun (AK-47 not so much; go for an AR-15, or hell, a fucking bazooka) and says:

"It does not stop bullets. It does not stop knives."
