I believe that this bill may be thrown out if it becomes law because it violates both the Constitution of the United states and the Constitution of the State of Delaware.  An 18 year old can marry, have children, have a job, vote, sign a contract, serve on a jury, and join the military to defend the United States Constitutional rights of ot's citizens.  This law forbids the Constitutional right to keep and bear arms to a narrow class of citizens; those 18 to 20 years of age.  This tells the group that you are an adult in every way except for firearm ownership.  You are too immature and untrustworthy for that but mature enough for anything else.

This needs to be defeated. Don't count on it being thrown out. Under 21 have been banned from buying handguns but that has never been thrown out. Don't depend on judges

WBOC reported that the Republicans submitted several amendments that caused the bill to be tabled until after Spring break (mid-April).  It will come up again at that time.

Five amendments providing exemptions.
Hunting permit holder - laid on table (LOT)
Four others placed with bill (PWB)
- honorably discharged military
- Protection from Abuse Order petitioners
- .22 LR rifles and ammo
- pistol carbines and ammo

The last amendment is interesting in that it would allow the purchase of pistol ammo by an under 21 year old which, IIRC, is illegal today.

The following was clipped from the Delaware Gun Rights Facebook page:

Hey guys and gals. I wanted to touch base on some of what happened today. Senator Cathy Cloutier, Senator Greg Lavelle and Senator Gary Simpson stood with us today against HB330. An amendment was proposed (by republican Gary Simpson) to amend HB330 which stated that if you have a Delaware Hunter’s Safety Course, the law would not apply to you. This set the Democrats in a tail spin. Once some of the Democratic Senators voiced that they could agree with the amendment, Senator Henry leaped to her feet and tabled the bill.

What does that mean? It means that the Democrats were afraid that HB330 would be amended and sent back to the House.

What happens now? The bill stays tabled until the Democrats feel they have enough votes to pass it without the Hunter Safety amendment. Good luck with that.

Please call and email Senator Cloutier, Senator Lavelle and Senator Simpson and thank them for their support.

More info from the News Journal:
It's interesting that Senator Marshall didn't stick with his usual anti-2A position. Only guessing, but there finally may be enough pressure being applied to knock some sense into these people. We need to keep it up.

Senate Minority Leader Gary Simpson, R-Milford, introduced the proposed allowance for those who pass a hunting course.

"I think there is a good chance the bill will pass with that amendment," he said. "I don't think it has a chance at all without it."

Sen. Robert Marshall, D-Wilmington, said he would support the change, even stating that hunting courses should be required in high schools. That put the Democrat's majority at risk and may have helped to trigger the decision to postpone a vote.

Schwarzkopf said he is opposed to the Simpson's offer.
