Delaware Dives Into Disarmament
Delaware Senate Bill 2 introduces a comprehensive licensing regime for handgun purchases, requiring applicants to obtain a 'handgun qualified purchase permit'. This involves background checks, fingerprinting, and extensive state-certified training covering safe handling, live fire exercises (minimum 100 rounds), legal knowledge, conflict resolution, and suicide prevention. The bill mandates the collection of personal data including race, ethnicity, and national origin, and requires law enforcement to verify residency across multiple jurisdictions if applicable. Critics argue this creates an unnecessary barrier to an inalienable right and facilitates civilian disarmament.
