Idaho kills gun control bill aimed at domestic abusers
BOISE, Idaho (AP) — Idaho's House has spiked a proposal that would have prevented convicted domestic abusers from owning guns.
House GOP members voted 39-31 on Tuesday to prevent the measure from moving to the Senate after critics argued the bill infringed upon the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.
A recent opinion from the Idaho Attorney General's office countered HB 585 did not violate constitutional rights.
Twenty Republican members joined the House's 11 Democratic members in support.
