Delaware has reduced its murder rate.......how? By going after guns? No....by locking up actual criminals who do the shooting.......this has the added benefit of not bothering normal gun owners....
While Delaware Gov. John Carney signed two gun control bills into law last year, including a ban on so-called ghost guns, Wilmington’s police chief didn’t mention the new gun laws when he was asked about the turnaround in the city’s crime stats.
Instead, he credited arrests of violent offenders, as well as another bill enshrined into law last year that makes it easier to hold those suspected of violent crimes behind bars until their case comes to trial.

- A new law that makes it tougher for people arrested on gun crimes to post bail was passed in 2021.
- The arrests of more than three dozen members of two gangs, NorthPak and MGS (M-Block Grimey Savages), on gun and other charges. Several were charged with murders and other shootings.
- A gun crime task force that includes the chief, mayor, attorney general, and U.S. attorney. Members focus on every firearm arrest and follow the defendant through the criminal justice system.
- Data-driven policing that aims to prevent retaliatory shootings by visiting the victims’ families and associates.
