Speak Up: Response to ghost gun question

Posted

A judge has barred the enforcement of a Delaware law banning the manufacture and possession of homemade, untraceable “ghost guns” in a lawsuit filed by gun rights advocates. Should ghost guns be legal? Why?

  • Yes. — Thomas J. Chilton
  • No. — Mike Rebranded
  • No. — Paul Baker
  • Yes. Keep the criminals in jail. A firearm has never committed a crime. Criminal “humans” are the problem, not firearms. — Gene Hansen
  • Absolutely. — Diane Whitby
  • Negative, ghostrider, they should not. — Delaware Citizens for the 2nd Amendment
  • Only if you’re gonna sell ’em. — Doug Drummond
  • When a criminal steals a car and crashes it, causing death/injury, we don’t lock the car up and take away the rights of law-abiding drivers, do we? Same concept, people. It’s super simple. Plus, you know that whole Second Amendment. My rights to protect myself and my family because of a criminal that the AG just keeps letting out of jail. — Deena Messick-Fitzgerald
  • Law-abiding citizens have been punished harder by these unconstitutional laws than criminals who have repeatedly violated the law by being in possession of firearms while prohibited. It makes no sense. Maybe if our legal system actually dealt out appropriate punishments, criminals would be afraid to commit gun violence and get caught. But we adopt a hug-a-thug mind-set here in Delaware. — Jackie Veal Cates
  • The Second Amendment protections are clear — all gun laws are unconstitutional. Government should have zero authority over what free people can own. — Libertarian Party of Delaware
  • That is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard. — Charlie Harper
  • They’re technically right, and it’s that way for a good reason; it’s not hunting. — Steven Pritchard
  • The reason the Second Amendment was written has absolutely nothing to do with hunting or even target practice. It’s meant to protect our homes and freedom from a tyrannical government. Ol’ Uncle Joe fits that description. Sorry to put a damper on your perspective of your fantasy world. — Rick Kerchevall
