Delaware ban on assault weapons

[Here4now]

A ban on sales of AR-15 rifles and other assault style weapons in Delaware will soon become law.

The measure aimed at preventing massacres like the one last month that killed 19 elementary school students and two teachers in Uvalde, Texas, completed its passage through both chambers of the General Assembly on Thursday when the Senate approved it 13-8
Delaware will become the eighth state to have such a prohibition. Delaware neighbors New Jersey and Maryland have one, but Pennsylvania does not. Delaware’s bill is modeled on the law in Maryland.

In addition, the House on Thursday approved a 17-round limit on ammunition magazine sizes. The Senate had approved that bill last week.

four pending bills would:
• Raise the age to buy and possess almost all firearms and ammunition to 21. The current law allows people at least 18 years old to have rifles and other long-guns, but the minimum age to buy a handgun is 21.
• Expand background checks to purchase a firearm to include state databases that can flag whether someone has a misdemeanor domestic violence crime on their record. That so-called red flag would not turn up on a check of the National Instant Criminal Background Check System currently used in Delaware unless it was flagged as a domestic violence offense.
• Strip the immunity gun dealers and manufacturers have in Delaware from civil liability if they knowingly or recklessly take actions that endanger the health and safety of the public.
• Ban the use of so-called “Glock switches” and other devices, that essentially convert semi-automatic weapons into machine guns that can fire up to 1,200 rounds a minute.

Uhh, that's already illegal, and ain't no way you're firing 1200 rpm out of any glock.

The bullet point above that is the real problem. Endless lawsuits will kill the industry.

A friend of mine was an ffl/sot in N.J. He obtained a bunch of Glock 18 pistols that were duty guns for a department in the south. He brought them to the range and I fired a couple of them.
Very interesting experience. They were definitely firing in the 11 to 1200 rpm range.

Stupid is as stupid does. Not a single one of these items will prevent a shooting. Wilmington is rife with thugs and they will continue to shoot each other.

Back when he was coherent.

I've shot an 18 at the range here and it is definitely in that range. It's a real handful, I liked it best out of one of the shoulder mounts. I might have video of that somewhere around here.

It may have the rate of fire, but realistically, you cannot shoot 1200 rounds in one minute out of it unless you're gonna belt feed it.
