Delaware Governor John Carney has signed the state’s Handgun Purchaser Licensing bill into law.
Following years of consistent engagement by dedicated advocates and legislators, a purchaser licensing bill, sometimes referred to as permit-to-purchase, passed the final hurdle in Delaware and has been signed into law by Governor John Carney. When enacted, the law will require all who seek to purchase a handgun, unless they have a valid Delaware concealed carry permit, to submit fingerprints, undergo a more thorough criminal background check, and complete live firearm safety training.
Research shows that if Delaware had adopted a Handgun Purchaser Licensing law when Connecticut did in 1995, we would expect there to have been 47 fewer firearm homicides and 103 fewer firearm suicides over the first 10 years of implementation1. This legislation is an important piece of Delaware’s multi-pronged approach to gun violence prevention.
“Delaware’s new law stands as a model for states around the country to pass policies that will save lives,” says Jen Pauliukonis, MPH ‘22, Director of Policy and Programming of the Center for Gun Violence Solutions at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. “Firearm Purchaser Licensing is backed by research and takes a public health approach to combatting the epidemic of gun violence.”
Eleven states and Washington, D.C. now have a Firearm Purchaser Licensing law in effect.

Rules are for other people.....I do not ask permission for a God given RIGHT.
Well the first thing if I were a Citizen of Delaware go after Biden and the Governor...just saying..
I noticed that the Illinois firearms owners permit has really slowed down murders in Chicago, East St. Louis, Peoria, etc.
Missouri had this exact law post 1968, except there was a very restrictive permit to carry. It was done away with because the bad guys knew their victims were most likely unarmed but they could still get guns.
“47 fewer firearm homicides and 103 fewer firearm suicides over the first 10 years of implementation”
Junk science.
INFRINGE
“intransitive verb To transgress or exceed the limits of; violate.
intransitive verb Obsolete To defeat; invalidate.
intransitive verb To encroach on someone or something; engage in trespassing.
from The Century Dictionary.
To commit a breach or infraction of; act contrary to, as a law, right, or obligation; transgress, either by action or by negligence; violate; break.
To annul or hinder.
To encroach; trespass; intrude: followed by on or upon: as, to infringe upon one’s rights.”
FRINGE
“something that is marginal, additional,
or secondary to some activity, process, or subject”
There is absolutely NO WAY that they can prove those statistics! It’s all a lie!
In prefix
“Meaning “Not”
The prefix “in-” can also mean “not”
or “opposite of.” For example:
Insane: not sane or rational
Invalid: not valid or effective
Indifferent: not caring or concerned.
I split these up on purpose.
“Research”. 😂🤣🤣😂😂🤣😂🤣😂
The figures may well be analytically correct as far as they go, but the key point in the real world is that rates of robbery, burglary, home invasion, and personal violence go down when firearms are readily available to the general public. Adding in cost, complexity, and delay for firearm purchases helps criminals by burdening the ability of the public to protect themselves.
This prove your can manufacture “research” to show anything you want.
Would never have wanted to live there anyway.
the research of today is not based on the true numbers of incidents in any particular field of study but on what numbers sound best to the general public in order to elicit a forgone and planned conclusion in the minds of the people. “If it SOUNDS good, it must be true” applies.
“firearms” versus “handguns”...
Conflation is the left’s stock in trade...
How the hell does one get live firearms training if you can’t buy the gun first? Do you go rent a pistol at the training center (probably a cheap .22) get the training and fire the gun? Then you go to the gun store and can now buy say an AR-15? Just wondering...
Every gun law is touted as the ultimate response to firearm violence for 5 minutes, then it’s not. Gun laws are about two things: punishing people who believe in the 2A, and the goal of taking everyone’s firearms away from them. The second objective is absolutely impossible.

Junk science.

Now, how many more murders, burglaries, rapes nd robberies would have occurred because of the law?
I unfortunately live in Connecticut. We have every gun law they can think of and it doesn’t do a damn bit of good. Every night on the local news it’s a shooting in Hartford or New Haven or Bridgeport etc. And yes Boo boo, it is them.
