https://files.constantcontact.com/825453af201/88da7ff1-cb01-4148-bc4a-d4e529b764cc.pdf We've seen bad gun bills before - but this is more draconian and far-reaching than Gov. Castle's and Carper's combined!
1.Townsend’s Semi-Auto Ban would outlaw thousands upon thousands of semi-auto rifles, pistols and shotguns owned by 10's of thousands of law-abiding Delawareans - including America's favorite rifle the Colt AR-15 and many pistols used by thousands of Delaware home-owners as home and personal defense firearms. Unlike SB 163, this bill contains a registration provision.
The Synopsis of Sen. Townsend's bill is full of lies, half-truths and falsifications - all designed to make your Senators and Representatives believe that it is both necessary and constitutional - shame on him! He's a lawyer- he knows better.
2. The Permit to Purchase Bill not only requires a permit to purchase a firearm it also creates a 30 day waiting period , a buyer registration database and a firearm database for each and every firearm purchased - and many other draconian, unreasonable and unnecessary requirements - very similar to the system used in Connecticut.It is also discriminatory economically and socially.
3. The ban on standard capacity magazines limits magazine capacity to 10 rounds and contains a confiscation provision .
More details to follow on all three bills - including bill numbers when they are assigned.
