Thoughts ?
"Essex Police checked details of licence holders to see if they had ever been the perpetrator of domestic violence, even if they had not been arrested, charged or found guilty.
They prioritised cases, focussing on the highest-risk first, and visiting the holders.
The force's approach was "victim-based", so people could say if they believed their partners or family members should be allowed to keep guns.
"If there were concerns, we took steps to remove guns, ammunition and certificates where we believed there was a danger to public safety," said Chief Insp Tom Simons from Essex Police."
