Who is required to undergo a background check before purchasing a firearm in Delaware?

  1. Only first-time buyers

  2. All buyers from licensed dealers

  3. Only buyers purchasing from a private individual

  4. All buyers, regardless of the seller

The correct answer is: All buyers from licensed dealers

The requirement for a background check before purchasing a firearm in Delaware applies specifically to all buyers purchasing from licensed dealers. This regulation is in place to ensure that individuals who may pose a danger to society or themselves are prevented from acquiring firearms through legal channels. Licensed dealers are mandated to perform background checks as part of the transaction process, adhering to both state and federal laws designed to enhance public safety. While first-time buyers and those purchasing from private individuals may also be subject to regulations, the comprehensive requirement is that all transactions through licensed dealers necessitate background checks. This measure helps to maintain accountability and safety within the purchasing process.
