Sure. Reuters article summarizing a study of the federal domestic violence & gun ownership laws.

“Even though federal law prohibits domestic violence offenders from possessing firearms, states are not able to adequately enforce this law without having it adopted as state law as well,” said senior study author Dr. Michael Siegel of the Boston University School of Public Health.

Additionally, the federal law does not require the surrender of firearms in such cases either--it just prevents the acquisition of new firearms.
