Delaware County Council bans ‘ghost guns’ as potential lawsuit looms
He asserted there is no “history or tradition” of regulations that justify “a blatantly unconstitutional ban of privately made firearms.”
The Nation Foundation for Gun Rights is the legal defense arm of the National Association for Gun Rights. Following Wednesday’s meeting, Storrs told WHYY News via email that county officials “chose to ignore the obvious.”
“Pennsylvania Gun Rights won’t stop fighting for the rights of residents of Delaware County to keep and bear arms. We are exploring all options to further fight this,” Storrs said. “Until then, we encourage Delaware Countians not to lose hope. This fight isn’t over.”
Taylor said the ordinance does not infringe on people’s Second Amendment rights.
“This ordinance doesn’t regulate fully assembled, lawfully obtained firearms,” Taylor said. “What this ordinance does do is to send a clear and powerful message that we will do everything in our power to prioritize and protect public safety.”
During a public hearing prior to the vote, supporters and opponents of the ordinance debated the topic, but council members appeared to have already made up their minds.
While Pennsylvania has strict preemption laws that block local governments from enacting gun laws stronger than the state’s policies, the Commonwealth Court has allowed Philadelphia’s “ghost gun” legislation to stand. The state Supreme Court is reviewing the case.
The U.S. Supreme Court recently upheld regulations instituted during former President Joe Biden’s administration that required gun assembly kit companies to add serial numbers to products and conduct background checks. Early results indicated the ban helped reduce the number of ghost guns on the street.
The threat of litigation did induce some fear in Councilmember Christine Reuther, but the Supreme Court ruling gave her more confidence. She decided it would be best for county officials to stand their ground rather than capitulate.
“Thank you to my fellow council members who decided that this should go on the agenda and not be an instance where we gave into our fear of what acting might mean,” she said.
Reuther said supporters of the ordinance have offered to pay the county’s legal fees in the event of a lawsuit.

MUNCIE, IN — Five individuals and one organization were recognized for their contributions to Delaware County during the annual ViVA (Very Important Volunteer Award) luncheon on April 14, according to a community announcement.
The event, hosted by the Muncie Noon Rotary Club in partnership with the Muncie Sunrise Rotary Club, has been a tradition since 1993. The ViVA Awards celebrate those who dedicate their time and resources to uplift the community.
Vickie Armstrong Oliver, Ken Glaub, Dottie Kreps and Beth Kroehler each received individual ViVA Awards for their volunteer efforts and commitment to various causes.
The Muncie Central High School Alumni Association was presented with the 2026 ViVA Organizational Award. Since 1995, the association has supported the high school through philanthropy and historical preservation.
The association has awarded more than $76,000 in scholarships to seniors and nearly $39,000 in teacher grants. It has also financed various campus needs, including the restoration of the school’s Abraham Lincoln statue. The board maintains a public Memorabilia Room to preserve the school’s legacy.
Linda Gregory received the Edmund F. Ball Lifetime Achievement Award for her lifelong dedication to service in the community.
The ViVA Awards luncheon served as a reminder of the generosity and compassion that define Delaware County’s volunteer heritage, according to the announcement.
