In keeping with the new state requirement that all would-be handgun buyers first acquire a purchase permit, the Delaware State Police have launched a portal for permit applications. Called the “Permit to Purchase Application Portal,” the webpage is used to gather personal information, including name, address, gender, date of birth, email, employment status (including employer info), and race and ethnicity information.

And remember, “law-abiding” gun owners: Back the Blue!
When I think of portals, I don’t think of anything good coming out of the other side.

Reports of a mass “data breach” or “unauthorized release of personal information” — which may or may not involve “foreign government actors” — to follow in 3… 2….
“… the Delaware State Police have launched a portal for permit applications. Called the “Permit to Purchase Application Portal …”
Sounds like “The Department of Redundancy Department”* had an advisory role.

* “The trope “Department of Redundancy Department” originates (unless someone antedates it) on the Firesign Theatre’s 1970 album Don’t Crush that Dwarf, Hand Me the Pliers.”
“All of us want to know… just as much as I want to know who’s responsible…and until we do I must make my dirty cl… duty clean… clear and announce the suspendering of the upcoming graduating exercises which can not… and will… which aren’t taking place.
But don’t worry! Don’t worry! Your food, housing, insecurity, will be guaranteed by the Department of Redundancy Department and the Natural Guard. And remember trust pressers will be persecuted.
So please, stay where you are, don’t move, and don’t panic! Don’t take off your shoes! Jobs is on the way.”
