SB163 [new]: This Act prohibits the manufacture, sale, offer to sell, transfer, purchase, receipt, possession, or transport of assault weapons in Delaware, subject to certain exceptions. One exception relevant to individuals is that the Act does not prohibit the possession and transport of firearms that were lawfully possessed or fully applied for before the effective date of this Act; although for these firearms there are certain restrictions relating to their possession and transport after the effective date of this Act. This Act is based on the Firearm Safety Act of 2013 (“FSA”) passed in Maryland in the wake of the tragic slaughtering of children on December 14, 2012, at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut. The FSA’s assault weapons ban was upheld as constitutional on February 21, 2017, by the full membership of the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, in the case of Kolbe v. Hogan, 849 F.3d 114 (4th Cir. 2017). The names Newtown, Aurora, San Bernardino, Orlando, Las Vegas, and Parkland, among others, have become synonymous with tragic killing of innocent, unsuspecting Americans of all ages and backgrounds, amidst a framework of federal and state laws that have permitted the purchase of weapons designed for the battlefield — not for our schools, our theaters, our places of worship, or our homes. Safety — both for the general public, as well as members of Delaware's law-enforcement community — is the objective of this Act, as it was for the FSA. And, as with the FSA, a primary goal of this Act is to reduce the availability of assault weapons so that when a criminal acts, he or she does so with a less dangerous weapon and less severe consequences. Relying on United States Supreme Court precedent from District of Columbia v. Heller, 554 U.S. 570 (2008), as well as the holdings of its sister circuits, the full Fourth Circuit concluded that the assault weapons banned by the FSA are not protected by the Second Amendment. The Fourth Circuit was convinced that the banned assault weapons are among those arms that are “like” “M-16 rifles” — “weapons that are most useful in military service” — which the Heller Court singled out as being beyond the Second Amendment’s reach. The Fourth Circuit concluded that Maryland had presented extensive uncontroverted evidence demonstrating that the assault weapons outlawed by the FSA are exceptionally lethal weapons of war. The Fourth Circuit also concluded that the evidence showed the difference between the fully automatic and semiautomatic versions of military-style weapons is slight. Further evidence considered by the Fourth Circuit that motivates this Act is as follows: (1) Like their fully automatic counterparts, the banned assault weapons are firearms designed for the battlefield, for the soldier to be able to shoot a large number of rounds across a battlefield at a high rate of speed, and that their design results in a capability for lethality — more wounds, more serious, in more victims — far beyond that of other firearms in general, including other semiautomatic guns. (2) The banned assault weapons have been used disproportionately to their ownership in mass shootings and the murders of law-enforcement officers. (3) The banned assault weapons further pose a heightened risk to civilians in that rounds from assault weapons have the ability to easily penetrate most materials used in standard home construction, car doors, and similar materials, and that criminals armed with the banned assault weapons possess a “military-style advantage” in firefights with law-enforcement officers, as such weapons allow criminals to effectively engage law-enforcement officers from great distances and their rounds easily pass through the soft body armor worn by most law-enforcement officers. (4) Although self-defense is a conceivable use of the banned assault weapons, most individuals choose to keep other firearms for that purpose. (5) Prohibitions against assault weapons will promote public safety by reducing the availability of those armaments to mass shooters and other criminals, by diminishing their especial threat to law-enforcement officers, and by hindering their unintentional misuse by civilians. (6) In many situations, the semiautomatic fire of an assault weapon is more accurate and lethal than the automatic fire. Finding this evidence and these conclusions by the Fourth Circuit to be strongly persuasive of the applicable framework of constitutional rights, and firmly believing that promoting the safety of the Delaware public and Delaware law-enforcement is a paramount function of the Delaware General Assembly, Delaware legislators file this Act in the name of public safety and with adherence to core constitutional principles.

FLORIDA- article
Brevard Rep. Randy Fine to file bills to repeal gun control from Parkland law
Isadora Rangel, Florida Today Published 6:20 p.m. ET March 29, 2018
A Brevard County lawmaker wants to repeal gun control provisions from the law he voted for to address the Parkland shooting, saying those would not have prevented the massacre.
Republican state Rep. Randy Fine said he's going to file three bills ahead of next year's session to reverse the Legislature's decision to raise the minimum age to buy a gun from 18 to 21, impose a three-day waiting period on gun purchases and to ban bump stocks. He announced this during a FLORIDA TODAY town hall on school safety Wednesday.
Fine said he voted on the 105-page bill because there were other provisions he supported, such as the school guardian program to arm school employees and the $400 million for more mental health counseling, school resource officers and to enhance school security.
"The bill was a 105-page package and there are aspects of it we don’t like," Fine said. "There might be someone else who files an appeal to the guardian program. Bills change and laws change over time."
Fine, who represents southern Brevard, said people ages 18 to 20 are adults and should be considered so to buy a gun. The National Rifle Association filed a lawsuit against the state alleging the law violates the Second Amendment rights of people under 21.
Shooter Nikolas Cruz was 19 when he opened fire at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High, killing 17 people with an AR-15 he legally purchased. Fine said he doesn't believe an age minimum would have stopped Cruz from purchasing the weapon illegally.
"The fallacy of gun control laws is that they work," he said.
Fine said he wants to repeal the three-day waiting period and the bump stock ban because they "didn’t have anything to do with Parkland."
Bump stocks, however, were used by the gunman who killed 58 people at a Las Vegas concert last year. The devices alter semi-automatic weapons to fire like automatic weapons, which are illegal in the U.S.
Fine said despite Vegas, most people who use bump stocks are not mass shooters.
"We don’t make cars illegal because drunk drivers use them to kill people," Fine said.
Fellow Republican, Brevard state Rep. Thad Altman, said he's open to revisiting the age minimum and the three-day period to exempt people who have FBI security clearance, for example. But he said he's against an outright repeal of such provisions and the Legislature must do what it can to keep weapons away from the wrong people.
"I think it’s premature to talk about changing it in any way," Altman said. "We have a whole year to talk about it and think of ways to make it better."
Altman also is against repealing the ban on bump stocks and pointed to Las Vegas as one of the reasons.
"I don’t see any real purpose of having bump stocks," Altman, of Indialantic, said. "You alter a weapon in a way that’s not necessary."
The gun control provisions under Senate Bill 7026 were groundbreaking for Florida's Legislature, which in recent years has voted to expand access to guns and has some of the most pro-gun laws in the country. The state is considered a breeding ground for NRA-backed policies under the leadership of longtime lobbyist Marion Hammer, who has drafted legislation supported by Republican leadership.
One of the NRA's biggest assets is its ability to motivate single-issue, pro-gun voters and to pony up primary challengers against Republicans who don't fall in line with the organization.
Fine said he expects his repeal legislation to gain support from 12 House Republicans who voted against the bill and who are up for re-election this year. One of them is Vero Beach state Rep. Erin Grall. The November elections will happen before the Legislature goes into session in March 2019.
Fine said the bill's opponents argued the gun control parts of it violated the Second Amendment. He doesn't believe that's the case but thinks the measures are "a bad idea."
Republican Senate President Joe Negron, who helped usher SB 7026, has said he supports the gun provisions in the bill.
“I think there was a full, fair and thoughtful debate on those issues during session, and the House, Senate and governor reached common ground on a response to safety in our schools," the Treasure Coast Republican said. "Obviously, any legislator in a subsequent session can ask for actions of a previous Legislature to be reviewed, and I respect that process. I personally support the law that we passed and was signed into law by Gov. Scott.”
