Yesterday, the House Judiciary Committee voted 5-4 to pass Senate Substitute 1 for Senate Bill 2, to impose a Maryland-style “handgun qualified purchase card” and a handgun transfer registry. It could receive a House floor vote before the General Assembly adjourns on June 30th. Please contact your state representative and ask them to OPPOSE SS 1 for SB 2.

Senate Substitute 1 for Senate Bill 2 requires citizens to obtain a deceptively named “handgun qualified purchaser permit” to purchase or receive a handgun, with an exemption for carry permit holders. To obtain a permit, an applicant is required to, at their own expense, have taken approved training and to submit fingerprints, though the bill does create a voucher system for low-income individuals to cover the cost of training. The State Bureau of Investigation is allowed up to 30 days to issue a permit. Because permits are valid for only a year and training is only accepted if taken within the past five years, this creates recurring costs, delay, and hassle for citizens to maintain the ability to exercise their Second Amendment right to obtain a handgun. In addition, the bill also creates a registry of all handgun transfers.
With SS 1, the Senate amended the bill to increase the valid duration of a permit from 180 days to a year, require the Superior Court to schedule appeal hearings within 15 days of filing rather than 21 days, and also delay the implementation of certain provisions.
In addition, anti-gun lawmakers have drafted a new anti-gun bill, to create a one-size-fits-all mandate to make firearms unavailable for self-defense use. It has received a committee assignment, but has not yet been scheduled for a hearing. NRA will keep you updated on this bill.
Again, please contact your state representative and ask them to OPPOSE SS 1 for SB 2.

State and local governments do not have the legal jurisdiction to regulate firearm ownership, carry or use. When is the supreme court going to start writing cease and desists to state and local governments and protecting our rights with the national guard if need be just like they did with the littlerock 9 in 1957? What was the point of getting rid of jim crowe if they were just going to implement it on everyone except the elite?
A right which has to be permitted is not a right.
Delaware is moving to restructure itself as a replication of the
state of Chicago (Illinois is an exo-city that runs around the
perimeter of the state of Chicago). Vermont, which has been
commandeered by out-of-staters, also is embracing this model
of governance . . . for safety no doubt.
What can you expect from a state that elected and then re-elected a national embarrassment named Joe Biden to the U.S. senate for over 30 years?
Then, to garnish that record, elected him twice to be vice-president, and then president?
You can’t fix stupid.
Not even with duct tape.
Apparently the idiots in Delaware are not aware of the BRUEN ruling that’s says this crap is unconstitutional
Unconstitutional, immoral, un-American.
DO. NOT. COMPLY. EVER!
