Delaware joins states fighting gun violence

Delaware is joining a growing number of states that are taking a collective approach to fighting gun violence, Gov. John Carney said. The "States for Gun Safety Coalition" was created earlier this month by the Democratic governors of New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and Rhode Island. The governors of Delaware, Massachusetts and Puerto Rico all announced Monday that they would be joining the multi-state partnership. Each of the member states is pledging to share their registries of people prohibited from owning firearms in their jurisdictions, allowing police to better track gun purchases and permit denials outside their own state borders.
