The term boyfriend loophole refers to a gap in American federal and some state gun laws that allows access to guns by adjudicated dating abusers. While federal law and many states' laws restrict firearm access by respondents to final protective orders (individuals who are subject to domestic violence protective orders issued after a hearing at which the individual had the opportunity to appear)[SUP][1][/SUP] and domestic violence misdemeanants (individuals who have been convicted of the misdemeanor crime of domestic violence),[SUP][2][/SUP] the federal prohibition on firearm possession by an intimate partner only applies if parties are current or former spouses, current or former cohabitants, or share a child in common.

The "law" that the Senate is working on includes provisions to close this loophole. Apparently the GOP has a big problem with closing this loophole and it might derail the legislation.
