Delaware's liberal democrat governor wants to prevent the sale of sem automatic rifles.
Governor John Carney issued the following statement Friday on gun safety laws:
"Over the past several years, Delaware has made progress in strengthening our gun safety laws, to help give law enforcement the tools they need to more effectively confront gun violence. We're also continuing to work with school districts to ensure that Delaware schools have up-to-date safety plans, and to provide training so students and educators know how to respond in the face of violence. But more needs to be done.
We are already working with Representative David Bentz to pass the Beau Biden Gun Violence Prevention Act, which will keep weapons out of the hands of those who mental health professionals and judges believe present a danger to themselves or others. I have also urged the General Assembly to pass a bill, introduced by Representative Valerie Longhurst, that would ban bump stock devices.
In the coming weeks, my team will work closely with lawmakers to craft legislation that would prohibit the sale of assault-style rifles in Delaware. As we have seen in Las Vegas, Parkland, and in many other horrific incidents across our country, military-style weapons can be used to carry out catastrophic acts of violence. They have no place on the streets of our neighborhoods.
We need a national approach to this mortal threat to our safety. We stand ready to do our part here in Delaware, and I would urge President Trump and members of Congress to do the same at the national level. It's past time to take serious action to confront this threat. I look forward to working with lawmakers in both parties here in Delaware to make our state safer."
A paragraph from the Republican House Minority Leader
I, and my caucus colleagues, generally support a ban on the sale and use of so-called bump-stocks and trigger-crank devices.
And, in lieu of HB 302 (the Beau Biden Gun Violence Prevention Act), we support enactment of House Bill 285, which will create procedures for making sure firearms do not find their way into the hands of dangerous people, while protecting due process and avoiding the creation of barriers to treat those suffering from mental illnesses.
Here is my response to the House of Representatives.
City, State and Federal elected officials seem to forget what started the Revolutionary War. It started when the British marched to Concord to confiscate the weapons of the American People. The Pennsylvania Rifle was far more accurate than the British Brown Bess. Today,s American rifle the Armalite15 commonly known as the AR-15 is American's Pennsylvania Rifle. The Second Amendment to the Constitution was put there for Americans to protect ourselves from an unjust government and for protection from miscreants.
Thank You
Sincerly
