This article highlights a key moment in the ongoing legal battle over Delaware’s gun control laws, with a focus on the U.S. Supreme Court’s recent decision to decline reviewing cases related to assault-style weapon bans and permit-to-purchase laws.
The piece provides a nuanced look at the perspectives of both gun control advocates and firearms rights groups. Supporters of the Delaware laws, such as Attorney General Kathy Jennings and Traci Murphy from the Delaware Coalition Against Gun Violence, see this as a significant legal victory, reinforcing the constitutionality of these regulations. However, gun rights advocates remain determined, with plans to continue their legal fight, arguing that the laws infringe upon Second Amendment rights.
