Delaware State Police using illegal registry

Delaware State Police stopped Alvina Vansickle from purchasing a .22-caliber pistol for self-defense because she was too old and a woman, said Superintendent Col. Thomas MacLeish.

The outrage that followed led to the revelation that Delaware State Police had been keeping lists of gun buyers for years; state law requires them to destroy these records after 60 days.

Without so much as a traffic ticket, the 81-year-old Lewes resident should have sailed through the mandatory state police background check when she tried to buy a Taurus revolver from Charlie Steele's Lewes gun shop last August.

Read it all.

Big Brother watches, employs boot-jack thugs, and respects no laws.

Screw Brady, the Heller decision needs to be enacted nationwide allowing citizens to buy firearms and ammunition (without being spied on either).

It is actions like this that remind us of Waco and Ruby Ridge among other fine examples of jack booted thuggery

You are kidding yourselves if you think that they are the only state that does this and that your records for any transaction are being properly destroyed.

...but my government wouldn't do anything illegal......

the transaction was halted over concerns "based upon age and gender."

Lawson said. <snip> He was concerned that never having bought a gun before, why would she want one now, at 81?"

Oh I dunno, perhaps because of her age and gender ?

I guess their idea of "reasonable restrictions" and "gun control" would be to give this 81 year old lady the right to fistfight with any possible assailiants or rapists ?

Agreed. I just assume it's happening.

Hey, if it is against the law, why doesn't someone just call the cops?
