As you all know, 2020 is an election year. In 1987, the Delaware Constitution was amended as follows, Article I, Section 20 of the Delaware Constitution, enacted in 1987, states: “A person has the right to keep and bear arms for the defense of self, family, home and State, and for hunting and recreational use.”
Over the last year and a half, several Delaware politicians have tried to strip away these rights.
Bryan Townsend, Newark district Senate District (11), introduced a bill, SB 68 that if passed would ban virtually ALL semi auto rifles, Black Guns, AR's etc. (On March 18th this year, he walked into Cabela’s and bought a Kimber Micro 9 Pistol and 40 rounds of hollow point ammo)
Laura Sturgeon, Senate District (4) Hockessin and Senator Sokola District (8), introduced Senate Bills 82, 69, and 70. This legislation mandated that all persons would be required to obtain a purchase card to buy a gun and would be limited to 1 handgun per month, and limit magazine capacity to 15 rounds or less.
