We only have to look at headlines — especially recent ones — to see that firearms are still the leading cause of domestic violence deaths in Georgia:
On June 5 in LaGrange, police say Jaquavious Tucker went to Ashley Bruce’s apartment. An argument ensued. Bruce, Tucker’s ex-girlfriend, went inside her apartment and locked the door. She then went to the living room window and told Tucker to leave. The argument escalated. Tucker pulled out a handgun and fired several shots in the air. He then pointed the weapon at Bruce and fired two shots through the open window. One shot hit her in the left hand and right side of her chest.
