Whereas: Governor Jack Markell and Attorney General Beau Biden are doing everything they can to use the tragedy in Connecticut as an excuse to force gun control on the people of Delaware; and
Whereas: By definition, criminals don't obey laws and new gun control laws make it more difficult for law-abiding citizens to protect themselves and their families; and
Whereas: The Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution cleary states "the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed"; and
Whereas: Article I Section 20 of the Delaware Constitution clearly states "A person has the right to keep and bear arms for the defense of self, family, home and State, and for hunting and recreational use"; and
Whereas: Article I of the Delaware Constitution clearly states "WE DECLARE THAT EVERYTHING IN THIS ARTICLE IS RESERVED OUT OF THE GENERAL POWERS OF GOVERNMENT HEREINAFTER MENTIONED"; and
Whereas: History has proven that gun registration databases eventually result in outright gun confiscation;
Therefore: As your constituent, I INSIST you oppose any and all new gun control schemes and gun registration databases.
