"Permit-to-purchase" bill signed into law in Delaware
Under the terms of the new law, anyone who wants to buy a gun will have to provide proof of training within the past five years, including shooting at least 100 rounds at a range. They'll also have to renew that training every five years, while the permit-to-purchase is only valid for two years. There's no cost for the permit itself, but would-be gun owners will have to fork over cash for fingerprinting and for the mandated training.
That's bad enough, but the law also sets up a gun registry, as well as a handy list of gun owners for the state to keep tabs on.
During his signing ceremony, Carney made the intention behind the bill absolutely clear:
"It's beyond my comprehension somebody could pick up a gun and shoot somebody with it, but it happens — oftentimes for no apparent reason," said Carney, who was flanked by lawmakers who sponsored the bill, gun violence survivors and gun safety advocates. "It's sad, but if you can prevent them from picking up a gun in the first place then we've got a chance."
So basically he's admitting the law is designed to keep guns out of the hands of the common people by making difficult to buy a gun.
See, we're not banning guns, we're making so difficult most people won't.
Meanwhile the criminals don't give a *expletive deleted*it what your silly law says.
