“47 fewer firearm homicides and 103 fewer firearm suicides over the first 10 years of implementation”
Junk science.

Now, how many more murders, burglaries, rapes nd robberies would have occurred because of the law?
Around 2010, I tried to get a gun license in Ct. I had to fill out a very long form, get three references, show proof of NRA training and agree to allow access to my medical records. There were other busy work too. Think the fee was $50. About a month later, the local cop called and said I was denied. He told me the chief of police said I don’t have any reason to own a gun. The cop said I could get a lawyer to appeal if I wanted. The Ct law did not require a reason to own a gun as a prerequisite. The chief of police made it up. I was so pissed, but I had one foot in moving to SC, I dropped the matter. The Del law just puts up time consuming and expensive hurdles to discourage gun ownership. I hope the NRA challenges the law as it infringes the right to bear arms.
