Any hint of what might be going on in Dover?  The new session is not that far away.

Ban guns...ban ammo...take guns...!!!  Except for criminals, no laws will affect their guns.

Radnor is usually on top of things.

I had my new leftist Assemblyman over for coffee.
I repeated my opinion that confiscating so-called "assault weapons" and standard-capacity would not prevent crime, but I offered him an alternative idea:

Create a new crime that only happens if you're already committing a crime.
Example: "Possession of an 'assault weapon' during the commission of a felony."

This would avoid criminalizing previously legal behavior, and might actually help.

Already there....
§ 1447 Possession of a deadly weapon during commission of a felony; class B felony.

§ 1447 Possession of a deadly weapon during commission of a felony; class B felony.

(a) A person who is in possession of a deadly weapon during the commission of a felony is guilty of possession of a deadly weapon during commission of a felony.

Possession of a deadly weapon during commission of a felony is a class B felony.

(b), (c) [Repealed.]

(d) Every person charged under this section over the age of 16 years may be tried as an adult pursuant to §§ 1010 and 1011 of Title 10, notwithstanding any contrary provision of statutes governing the Family Court or any other state law.

(e) A person may be found guilty of violating this section notwithstanding that the felony for which the person is convicted and during which the person possessed the deadly weapon is a lesser included felony of the one originally charged.

Now all we have to do is get them to charge and try the criminals with those crimes.

But,  if they would introduce the new wording, they would feel accomplished,    and high and mighty.

Exactly! Let them introduce it, pass it, pat themselves on the back for it, and leave us the f*** alone. That's my goal.
