My remedy is to arm everyone with an automatic weapon, give them body armor and tell them to sort it out for themselves (called taking personal responsibility for mayhem TPRM).

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."
