After months of legislative action and litigation, the Wilmington Housing Authority in Delaware has finally dropped its ban on gun ownership for residents. While that's good news, it looks like the WHA is still trying to restrict the Second Amendment rights of its tenants, and the NRA won't stop until those residents can fully exercise their constitutional rights.

The executive director of the WHA says he still thinks a gun ban would be good, but after reviewing the recent Supreme Court decision in McDonald v. City of Chicago, he believed he had no choice but to scrap the ban. Still, he says he wants to "be able to put some controls in place to keep residents as safe as possible."

Restrictions on the rights of law-abiding residents won't keep them safe ... it will only put them at a disadvantage. Does anybody at the WHA really believe that criminals and gang members will respect the prohibition on firearms in common places? If not, then why demand that tenants be disarmed in those places?

The Wilmington Housing Authority may have hoped that by ending the ban on gun possession in the home, they could make the NRA's lawsuit go away. That's not going to happen. If the WHA really wants the litigation to end, all they have to do is put policies in place that respect the constitutional rights of their law-abiding residents. As long as they continue to tell tenants that they're second-class citizens, we're going to keep fighting for their Second Amendment rights.
