It shows.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ARs and scores of other popular semi-autos are banned, as are standard-capacity magazines. Delawareans must obtain a state permit to simply purchase a handgun. There are red flags, universal background checks, homemade firearm prohibitions and don\u2019t even think of standing your ground. Everytown ranks The First State 12<sup>th<\/sup> nationally in terms of its anti-gun laws. In fact, the state has become a gun controller\u2019s dream.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Delaware Attorney General Kathy Jennings is responsible for many of the most recent anti-gun laws, and she vigorously defends their constitutionality in court, even though she knows many are no longer constitutional.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI spend each and every day fighting gun violence in our state,\u201d Jennings said <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/DemocraticAGs\/status\/1546612560346185730\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">in a video<\/a> posted on her social media. She did not return calls or emails seeking her comments for this story.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A deep dive into Jennings\u2019 taxpayer funded anti-gun activism reveals that she \u2013 like her friend Joe Biden \u2013 doesn\u2019t let the constitution get in her way. When Jennings wants to infringe upon the Second Amendment, the constitution isn\u2019t even an afterthought.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cAttorney General Jennings along with Governor Carney together serve as a clear and present danger to the Constitution of the United States when it comes to the Second and Fourteenth Amendments and Art. I, Section 20 of the Delaware Constitution,\u201d said John Sigler, past-president of the <a href=\"https:\/\/dssa.us\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Delaware State Sportsmen\u2019s Association<\/a>, past-president of the National Rifle Association and senior member of the Delaware Bar.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Specious Arguments<\/h3>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jennings claims to possess a special insight and understanding of what the Founders actually meant when they wrote the Bill of Rights \u2013 especially the Second Amendment.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe idea that the Founders envisioned anything like an AR-15 when they drafted the Constitution is a delusion,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/news.delaware.gov\/2024\/03\/11\/with-gun-safety-in-court-delaware-new-jersey-pennsylvania-ags-stand-for-common-sense\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jennings said last month in a joint press release<\/a>, along with Attorneys General from New Jersey and Pennsylvania. \u201cThese guns originated as weapons of war, were marketed based on their military pedigree, and have emerged as the clear weapon of choice for mass shooters at a time when guns are the leading cause of death for children in our country. The gun lobby\u2019s continuing pursuit of blood money is appalling and flat-out wrong on the merits. We are proud to defend these laws.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jennings is partially correct, of course. It is highly unlikely the Founders ever envisioned an AR or an AK, but her argument is moot. It doesn\u2019t matter what the Founders envisioned. Technology may change over time, but our civil rights don\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Founders likely never envisioned offset presses, electric typewriters, cell phones, computers, texts, emails, online news sites, social media or TikTok influencers, yet they and their work product are protected by the First Amendment.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Founders could never comprehend <a href=\"https:\/\/thegunwriter.substack.com\/p\/video-atf-conducts-surprise-firearm?utm_source=publication-search\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ATF\u2019s knock-and-talk interrogations<\/a>, electronic surveillance, Title III wire taps, no-knock search warrants, drones and FISA warrants, yet the Fourth Amendment protects Americans from these and other intrusions into their homes.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jennings\u2019 false claim that firearms are the leading cause of death for American children has been roundly debunked \u2013 even by the corporate media \u2013 yet she and Biden continue to repeat this falsehood when calling for increased firearm regulations.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Also, the Second Amendment has always protected weapons of war. That\u2019s kind of the point.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lawfare<\/h3>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">June 23, 2022, was a dark day for Joe Biden, or more accurately for the unelected White House bureaucrats who control him and his teleprompter. The United States Supreme Court issued its landmark <a href=\"https:\/\/www.supremecourt.gov\/opinions\/21pdf\/20-843_7j80.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Bruen<\/em><\/a> opinion, which curbs the State\u2019s ability to wantonly regulate arms and invalidated many of the anti-gun laws already on the books.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The White House needed to push back against the High Court, and there was no better place to do it than Biden\u2019s home state, which was under total Democrat control. At that time, Delaware\u2019s legislative session was winding down. The Delaware State Sportsmen\u2019s Association (DSSA) had successfully thwarted a handful of anti-gun bills.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jennings, Gov. Carney and all members of the Democratic caucus from both chambers were suddenly summoned to a conference call with the White House. Afterward, the Democrats introduced a trio of anti-gun bills, which were fast-tracked through the legislative process. One lobbyist referred to it as a \u201cblitzkrieg.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One bill banned \u201cassault weapons.\u201d The second banned all magazines capable of holding more than 17-rounds. The third prohibited anyone under 21 from \u201cpurchasing, owning, possessing, or controlling a firearm or ammunition of a firearm except under limited circumstances.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jennings played a significant role in passing the legislation. She worked closely with far-left progressives in the General Assembly to carry out orders from the White House and \u2013 to be clear \u2013 she knew the bills were unconstitutional because of <em>Bruen<\/em>. One lawmaker objected on these grounds. \u201cSue us,\u201d was the response he received. Another state representative tried to argue that since the bills raised serious constitutional issues, they should be given more time. He was ignored. A Democratic state representative later told the DSSA he had no choice but to support the bills. A massive amount of pressure, he said, was coming \u201cfrom above.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gov. Carney signed the bills into law on June 30, 2022, just seven days after <em>Bruen<\/em>. The Biden-Harris administration needed a quick victory to push back against <em>Bruen,<\/em> and they got it.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The DSSA quickly sought to block the legislation, which is known as the <a href=\"https:\/\/legis.delaware.gov\/BillDetail\/109607\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Delaware Lethal Firearms Safety Act of 2022<\/a>. On Monday, the Third Circuit Court of Appeals denied the DSSA\u2019s motion to overturn the district court\u2019s denial for a temporary injunction, while the DSSA is seeking a permanent injunction against the Act. The appellate court specifically refrained from ruling on the merits of the case.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jennings has referred to the DSSA as \u201cextremist NRA-affiliated plaintiffs,\u201d but rather than using staff attorneys from her office to defend against the group\u2019s suit, Jennings contracted with a private law firm. The DSSA has been told that some of the money for these private attorneys is coming from the gun-ban industry.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The lawsuit, <a href=\"https:\/\/michellawyers.com\/delaware-state-sportsmens-association-v-delaware-department-of-safety-and-homeland-security\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Delaware State Sportsmen\u2019s Association v.
