Attempt to halt Delaware’s new ‘permit to purchase’ gun law denied by federal judge<\/a><\/p>\n

A federal judge rejected a motion asking for an injunction to halt Delaware’s new “purchase to permit” gun law, which is set to be implemented in two days.<\/p>\n

“The motion for expedited injunction relief is denied,” U.S. District Judge Maryellen Noreika said in her order.<\/p>\n

Seven plaintiffs concerned with the state’s “permit to purchase” law asked for a temporary restraining order in federal court on Nov. 3 seeking to stop the gun legislation before its implementation Nov. 16. The law mandates that people receive a permit and complete gun safety training before purchasing a handgun in Delaware.<\/p>\n

Delaware Attorney General Kathy Jennings said she was grateful for her team, including attorneys with Freshfields, who argued this case.<\/p>\n

“This is not just a win for the State \u2013 it’s a win for everyone who has been impacted by gun homicide, gun suicide, or gun trafficking,” Jennings said in a statement on Nov. 14. “Tonight in this country the leading cause of death for children and teens will be guns; permit to purchase is the gold standard for evidence-based policies to change that. It\u2019s too soon to declare mission accomplished \u2013 but this is a good night for common sense gun safety policy.”<\/p>\n

Jennings blasted the gun lobby Nov. 7 for misleading and inaccurate claims made in its filings and for attempting to circumvent a pending motion to dismiss and a court order in a substantively identical case.<\/p>\n

The plaintiffs are expected to file an appeal.<\/p>\n

During a nearly 75-minute-long hearing before Noreika on Nov. 13, plaintiffs argued the law would leave applicants with little recourse if the state does not respond to them within 30 days.<\/p>\n
