Will see less gun violence. Men have to find a way to cope with their partners leaving.

(CNN) - Lawmakers in New York have passed legislation that would allow judges to force convicted domestic abusers to surrender all their firearms.

Supporters of the measure say its passage allows a "glaring loophole" to be filled.

Cuomo says he hopes the legislation will make New York safer and stronger, as well as break the link between domestic abuse and gun violence.
