ALBANY, N.Y. (NEWS10) – Nearly three women are killed every single day by domestic violence and many of those cases involve a firearm.

Now comes a new proposal that could help put an end to it.

Governor Andrew Cuomo announced that proposal this week. Now one local woman, who lost her daughter to domestic violence, is calling this a victory.

“My daughter Liza was murdered by her husband 13 years ago.”

It’s a day Martha Lasher Warner will ever forget when she learned her 29-year-old daughter was gunned down, by her ex-husband who then turned the gun on himself.

“It’s such a difficult, everlasting grief.”

She’s dedicated her life to fighting back against domestic violence. When news spread that Gov. Cuomo was proposing a new legislation that could make a big difference, she was proud.

“I think it’s a marvelous idea.”

Under the proposal, anyone who is convicted of domestic violence will have their guns taken away and kept away. A judge would also be required to suspend any firearm license until the case is resolved.

That’s being met with support at the New York Capitol. Assemblywoman Patricia Fahy supports the proposal.

“Women are more likely to die when they are guns and there is a domestic violence issue.”

Meg Myers is the director of domestic violence and says it’s something that can save lives.

Warner agrees.

For now, she keeps her daughter’s old cell phone, still with the same voicemail left on it from 13 years ago.

“I do that to keep her memory alive.”

For now, the proposal is still in the early stages. We are expected hear more on in the governor’s State of the State Address coming up on January 3rd.
