Who is required to undergo a background check when purchasing a firearm from a licensed dealer in Delaware?

  1. Anyone under the age of 21

  2. Only non-residents of Delaware

  3. Every purchaser

  4. Only those purchasing handguns

The correct answer is: Every purchaser

The requirement for a background check when purchasing a firearm from a licensed dealer in Delaware applies to every purchaser. This regulation ensures that all individuals seeking to buy firearms are thoroughly vetted, which includes checking criminal history, mental health status, and other relevant information that may legally disqualify them from owning a firearm. By mandating this process for all purchasers, the law aims to promote public safety and responsible gun ownership. The other choices do not encompass the full scope of the law; for instance, limiting the requirement to specific age groups, residency status or types of firearms would undermine the comprehensive nature of the background check system designed to keep firearms out of the hands of individuals who might pose a risk to themselves or others. This holistic approach allows for stricter oversight and accountability in firearm sales.
