ACTION ALERT
!! ACTION NEEDED NOW TO PRESERVE AMERICAN FREEDOMS!
STATUS REPORT - LEGISLATIVE HALL
May 9, 2019
Hundreds of freedom-loving Constitutional Activists responded to Legislative Hall in opposition to the
Carney-Townsend Gun Ban Trifecta - Senate Bills 68, 70 & 82.
Good Job! Thanks for being there! Your participation was very important.
Although only a fraction of the 100+ were allowed to speak, the message was clear - LEAVE US ALONE!
Now it's time to keep the heat on - don't let up - let your voices be heard!
At the end of the hearing, the Executive Committee did not release any of the three bills - we still have work to do!
STOP THE CARNEY/TOWNSEND GUN BAN TRIFECTA
SENATE BILL 68
ANOTHER SEMI-AUTO BAN
SENATE BILL 70
STANDARD CAPACITY MAGAZINE BAN
- 15 ROUND LIMIT
SENATE BILL 82
PURCHASE PERMIT REQUIRED
SEARCHABLE DATA BASE CREATED
1.SB 68 - 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 SB 68 is full of lies, half-truths and falsifications - all designed to make your Senators and Representatives believe that it is both necessary and constitutional. They know better.
2. SB 82 - 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.
SB 82 is discriminatory. These permits and the process to get the permits are not free - they will adversely impact the poor who will thus be deprived of their right to defend themselves, their homes and their families -
3. SB 70 - The Ban on Standard Capacity Magazines limits magazine capacity to 15 rounds and contains a confiscation provision. Like SB 69, this bill will adversely impact the poor by rendering existing firearms useless by outlawing the standard capacity magazine that originally came with the firearm when legally sold to the buyer.
ALL THREE BILLS -
SB 68 and SB 70 and SB 82
are
UNCONSTITUTIONAL
Contact the Senators on the Committee today and politely ask them to keep these bills in Committee.
