"The DSSA promotes and protects the interests of gunowners in and around Delaware. If you believe in and want to maintain the private ownership of firearms, or simply hunt and fish, DSSA is for YOU. A person has the right to keep and bear, arms for the defense of self, family, home and State, and for hunting and recreational use. Delaware Constitution Article I, Section 20. This 1987 amendment to the Delaware Constitution was the culmination of two years of effort by the DSSA. Because of the work of the DSSA and its members, the “right to keep and bear arms” is now enshrined as a fundamental right. Previously, the DSSA fought for and obtained passage of legislation that prohibits counties, towns and cities from passing any new gun control ordinances. Thanks to the DSSA, laws are uniform throughout Delaware. Unlike many states, you may travel anywhere in the state without fear of violating local laws concerning sporting equipment that you use for hunting, competition or recreation. For over 20 years, the DSSA has stood ever vigilant in defense of the right to keep and bear arms. Through our efforts, with the support of the National Rifle Association, the rights of the people of, Delaware have not been compromised. The law abiding gun owner is under attack like never before. The news media, in concert with intellectually corrupt politicians, are trying to convince the public that your guns are the crime problem in Delaware. We cannot let them get away with this deception. In 1776 our Founding Fathers fought a war to establish these rights. However, the fight is never over. We must again join the battle to defeat those who would render us defenseless."
