Matthew Carberry, You are misreading HB 625.  Current law prohibits the possession of firearms and ammunition by criminal offenders who have committed any felony, a crime of violence, or the illegal sale of drugs; substance abusers; persons diagnosed with a mental or emotional disorder; and persons who are subject to a restraining order or protective order.  HB 625 extends that prohibition to those convicted of stalking.  Women especially are victims of stalking.  In fact, 1 in 6 women have experienced stalking victimization at some time during their lives in which they felt very fearful or believed that they or someone close to them would be harmed or killed.  HB 625 is a common sense measure that takes a step toward getting guns out of the hands of dangerous people.
