Just sent this e-mail to the SB 23 Sponsors and to my Senator and Representative.
Dear Senators and Representatives
Please provide your position on SB 23, AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 22 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO MUNICIPALITIES AND LIMITATIONS ON FIREARM REGULATIONS.
Please respond by e-mail or phone call before considering SB 23 on Wednesday, January 22nd.
Please provide your rationale to violate the Delaware Constitution which states the following in the Bill of Rights
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
§ 20. Right to keep and bear arms.
Section 20. A person has the right to keep and bear arms for the defense of self, family, home and State, and for hunting and recreational use.
WE DECLARE THAT EVERYTHING IN THIS ARTICLE IS RESERVED OUT OF THE GENERAL POWERS OF GOVERNMENT HEREINAFTER MENTIONED.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Why are you proposing a change to the Delaware Code that is not in concert with the Delaware Constitution?
Why do you want to create a patchwork of firearms laws in the State of Delaware that only the law-abiding citizens will obey?
Why do you want to ensnare the law-abiding citizen that strayed unknowing into a local fiefdom with an arcane local law? Especially one passed recently?
Why do you want to inhibit the defense of self, family, home and State?
Dover City has a no open carry firearms policy. How’s that working out?
Given Judge Winmill’s order to the Corps of Engineers to stop enforcing the firearms ban, Judge Chang’s ruling that the Chicago ban on sales and transfers of firearms is unconstitutional, Heller I and Heller II, what is the likelihood that SB 23, if passed, will be struck down also?
Sincerely,
