How is a BB gun not included when it by definition shoots a projectile

I guess that would include rubber band hand shooting

I'm not sure who would do this

Mayyybe someone with suicidal tendencies but there are about a billion other ways to succeed

Just sounds unnecessary to the point there must be something else nefarious within the legislation

"I'm registering myself to not be able to vote in the next election"

And our elected overlords are proposing HB 342 to create a "voluntary do not sell registry" for firearms.  Basically a person goes into a State Police Troop, fills out a form to voluntary make themselves a Person Prohibited from owning or possessing a firearm or other deadly weapon (presumably including the new category of "projectile weapon" if/when that nonsense passes) and that prohibits them until such time as they petition for removal from that registry...I assume that removal from that registry will be about as simple, straightforward, swift, and inexpensive as seeking removal from the child protective registry (another horrible legislative creation in Delaware) or the sex offender registry (yes there are folks that are wrongfully on there, many for having taken a pee on the dumpsters behind the bar in Newark after closing while attending UD).

My problem with this is that it is a true first step to the State creating a firearms registration requirement.  Another problem that I have is that this allows a person to waive an inherent constitutional right under the United States and Delaware Constitutions without the benefit of due process and a hearing before a judicial officer where they can be advised of their rights and where a finding by a judicial officer that the waiver is knowing, voluntary, and intelligent can be made upon a record in court.  A third concern, the obvious potential for misuse by the State; imagine a person puts themselves on this list voluntarily. The State Police then use this voluntary registration to form a basis of probable cause upon which to seek a search warrant, go to the registrant's home, seize all weapons, and then felonize them by charging them with possession of a deadly weapon by a person prohibited or alternatively with possession of a firearm by a person prohibited.  This is really not good and it is precisely the reason that a judicial determination and oversight are required when a person is relinquishing constitutional rights.

Delaware News / Delaware Seeks to Redefine Firearm
« Last post by MarcWinkman on Today at 01:21:19 PM »
Well folks, our elected overlords are at it again seeking to redefine the term firearm under Section 222 of Title 11 of the code and also seeking to add a new class of deadly weapon called "projectile weapons".  This is NOT going to be good for anyone, despite the propaganda pitch that it will assist prior convicted felons in securing job opportunities when released back into the community following release from incarceration.  If that were in fact the only reason this was being advanced, then that's all fine and well, but by creating a new class of deadly weapons with the "projectile weapons" category, it really betrays the true intent.  The true intent seems to be to be to create a whole new class of items for which the State can felonize you for owning.  The present definition under 11 Del.C. Sec. 222(13) states ""Firearm" includes any weapon from which a shot, projectile, or other object maybe discharged by force of combustion, explosive, gas, and/or mechanical means, whether operable or inoperable, loaded or unloaded.  It does not include a BB gun".  Effectively what the new proposed definition does is remove the language after the word "explosive" and then the excised language gets applied to the new classification of "projectile weapon".  For purposes of persecution under Title 11, a person can be charged with carrying a concealed deadly weapon under 11 Del. C. Sec. 1442 and if said weapon is a "firearm" or "projectile weapon" they face 0 to eight years in prison.

Here's hoping that the Third Circuit Court of Appeals rules favorably for us in the DSSA rifle and magazine ban case.  If they do, I'll have a good time of eviscerating the State in Motions to Dismiss the magazine and rifle cases that have been piled up in the corner of my office waiting for the motions window to open for an en masse filing.  If the Court doesn't go our way, I'll at least have an opportunity to get a few of these issues before the State Supreme Court in Dover for decision.

Quick update here on the drugs and guns case, while Judge Norieka ruled on a lot of the Hunter Biden Motions to Dismiss on Friday, the Court took under advisement the arguments pertaining to the constitutionality of 18 U.S.C. Sec. 922(g)(3) criminalizing possession of a firearm and controlled dangerous substance. I'm curious to see how this one shakes out.
