In America you may be innocent until proven guilty, but if your spouse or girlfriend complains about domestic violence, your guns are guilty until proven innocent.
Dallas County has cleared the biggest hurdle to taking guns away from domestic abusers deemed too dangerous to have them.
A private gun range near Love Field has agreed to store the hundreds of guns authorities expect to confiscate each year if they begin enforcing laws that forbid certain domestic abusers from having firearms.
Dallas County would be the first known jurisdiction in the country to rely solely on private gun storage. The outside-the-box solution is the most significant development yet in the county’s efforts to create a gun confiscation program, possibly paving the way for a launch within a few months.

If guns are never returned to their owners, Cañas said, the gun range would like to keep them to resell or to sell for scrap.
“That’s where they see a business opportunity,” Cañas said.
The owner of the gun range declined to comment until he works out the final details of the agreement with Cañas.
Using a private facility appears to circumvent several police concerns, including their lack of space for weapons and questions about whether they have the authority to confiscate them. But Cañas said he wants to work with police to create a plan for dealing with an abuser who fails to turn a gun over as ordered.
