10142015 - How can you talk about abusers' access to firearms and the risk of DV homicide - and not mention OIDV?

Today, The Executive Office Of The President was on the MIOIDV website, viewing an article I had posted, in which I questioned the National Network To End Domestic Violence's failure to address OIDV victims in it's report of DV homicides









Back in 2014, the National Network To End Domestic Violence [NNEDV], issued a report: Access to Firearms Increases risk of intimate partner homicide by 500% .

No where in NNEDV's article did they mention Officer Involved Domestic Violence - whose victims are murdered at a far greater alarming rate - by a firearm, that is often the abusive police officer's department issued duty gun .

And, when I checked NNEDV's website, I could find no mention of OIDV . ??

So, I contacted NNEDV, and asked them why they weren't talking about OIDV. I never received a reply from NNEDV regarding Officer Involved Domestic Violence.

The OIDV secret that no one wants to talk about:
Domestic violence advocates publicly and loudly in-your-face demanded gun ban laws for those convicted of DV.  In 1998, state and federal legislators backed and enacted  18 U.S.C. § 921: Lautenberg Amendment; Federal Domestic Violence Gun Ban .

But at the same legislators that are backing and enacting these same laws to protect DV victims, are creating loop-holes in these laws to protect abusing police officers from not only being held criminally responsible for OIDV - but to keep guns in the hands of these officers. And meanwhile, the domestic violence advocates are turning their heads to this deadly miscarriage of justice for OIDV victims everywhere.

Sad misjustice to Michigan's OIDV victims: Soon after the lautenberg enacted, Michigan state legislators created a loophole in MCL 769.4a -

2013 - Michigan MCL 769.4a - private DV criminal hearings. Silenced the only voice for OIDV - the media - and further endangered the lives of OIDV victims, by putting guns back in their abuser's hands.

And so it goes away - and even a NATIONAL DV agency, such as the NNEDV doesn't have to talk about firearm homicides in regards to OIDV

But, what no

OIDV is deadly different from non-OIDV domestic violence, because while legislators
