It’s not often that a court captures a debate perfectly in a sentence or two. After all, most debates are complex things that require layers of discussion.
However, the Delaware State Supreme Court just lowered the boom on restrictions that kept lawfully owned and carried firearms out of state parks. In the process, they summed up what we’ve been saying for years regarding firearms and gun control laws.

Finally some common sense. Hopefully the gun grabbers are paying attention.

A state Supreme Court actually said that???

Maybe Hell is frozen after all.

I'd be VERY curious if the judges came up with that line themselves, or whether it was told to them by the lawyers arguing the gun owners' side.

Gun control only works if nobody has access to guns.

And since there are more functional guns than people in circulation, firearms technology peaked roughly half a century ago, gun tech itself is fairly low-tech by today's standards and accessible to the masses GUN CONTROL WILL NOT WORK.

It's an inescapable fact of life now... you might as well get angry and pass laws banning the fact that you have to breathe oxygen or die. "Pandora's Box" has been sitting open for a loooong time on this one.

Which is exactly the Democrats' ultimate goal: Nobody is allowed to own guns any more.

Have you noticed that every time they praise countries whose "gun violence rates" have gone down, they always point to England, Japan, Australia, etc. - countries that have imposed almost total gun bans on their subjects.

Take the hint.

Take the hint that those countries you've listed, all did so by public decision, making the usage of your descriptor "imposed" a fail.
