Welcome!
Hello, Metroblum, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Brianda and I work with Wiki Education; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.
I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

Peer Review
The article’s status is very good and it is well-developed. The lead is overall informative, concise, and clear. It is only missing brief descriptions of three sections. The article body should also discuss the disproportionate effect of DV on WOC and the existence of DV in non-heterosexual relationships as mentioned in the lead, and in filling a further equity gap. The article’s content is strong, relevant, up-to-date, and informative. The topic is underrepresented in greater discussions on gun control, filling an equity gap. The language and claims were neutral and included multiple perspectives. It also has a large number and great diversity of modern sources. There are few news articles and instead, many studies and peer-reviewed articles. The article only needs to fill in citations where two are missing and insert links where citations don’t have them. The main improvement needed is minimizing unclear and run-on sentences, and fixing some small grammatical errors. Removing passive voice and fixing the structure of confusing sentences would help. Clarifying the topic/name of the final, and what seems to be the primary section would strengthen the article; It seems to focus on current legislation rather than the concept of surrendering firearms.

Peer Review
The article's overall status is good. The article is detailed and easy to understand. The article is well-written and specific about the legislation and its impact. As mentioned in the lead paragraph, it could benefit from information about intersectional identities and how the loophole disproportionately impacts WOC. It could also benefit from expanding on the counter-argument, maybe explaining why someone might protect or defend this loophole. It could also benefit from a more clear description of what the body discusses in the lead. Or maybe, changing the body to match the lead option works. Reading the piece was informative and easy to follow. There is very little explicit bias in the writing but it may benefit from another review of the tone. The article is well-developed and nearly complete. — Preceding mckalet comment added by mckalet) 17:17, 3 April 2023 (UTC)
