Speak Up: Delaware House committee approves gun magazine restriction
Posted
After a three-and-a-half-hour hearing, a House committee released a highly charged gun bill to the chamber floor Tuesday. The House Judiciary Committee voted along party lines to approve legislation that would prohibit magazines capable of holding more than 17 rounds, one of two gun-related measures the General Assembly is currently considering. The proposal likely won’t receive a floor vote until after May 11, when the same committee is set to hear legislation that would require a permit to buy a handgun. Both bills passed the Senate with purely Democratic support April 1, about a week after they were introduced.
- It’s a good start. — Jaden Blondin
- Just love how they keep the people from attending these debates and votes. — Steve Durnan
- Can’t even bother enforcing the laws on the books now. — Bob Beckman
- They are not considering anything when the Democrats are in control. Kiss the limits on your self-defense goodbye. Why is the government telling us what we can have? In that case, no one needs a V-8 engine in their car or to be capable of going over 65 mph. — Kevin Gant
- Vote all Democrats out of office! — Philip L. Puschel
- They really do not care what the public thinks. — Clint Brothers
- This makes every mag illegal. The Dems obviously only care about their own opinion, as their “facts” and stats were inaccurate. — Erin Chronister
- It doesn’t make every magazine illegal. Why do you need more than one/two bullets anyway? If you have to defend yourself and you need more than two bullets, then you aren’t a good shot. — Amy Collins
- Great idea. Penalize and restrict law-abiding citizens. — Martin Link
- Two cases of voter fraud (both Republicans voting for dead family members) equal 253 new voting-restriction laws introduced. Mass shooting nearly every other day in America equals zero bills introduced to address gun violence. — Eddie Curley
- Great news on this tragic day. — Debbie Dickerson
