John Carney\u2019s desk.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier in the week, Democratic leaders in the Senate suggested they planned to force the bills through without GOP support if necessary in the interest of public safety.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe urgency for public safety laws that will protect Delawareans from the threat of gun violence gripping our communities must be carefully balanced with our duty to provide fair public notice of measures being considered by our chamber,\u201d Senate President Pro Tempore David Sokola and Majority Whip Elizabeth Lockman <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/national\/senate-democrats-seek-to-ram-through-gun-control-measures\/2021\/03\/30\/d6251f96-91b1-11eb-aadc-af78701a30ca_story.html\">said<\/a> in the statement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese policies are not new and, put simply, Delawareans have waited too long for us to act on them,\u201d Sokola and Lockman said, noting that previous attempts to enact such measures have failed. \u201cToo many lives are at risk to justify any further delay in their consideration before the full Senate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Senate Bill 6, which bans \u201chigh capacity\u201d magazines, classifies a high capacity magazine as any that holds more than 17 rounds of ammunition. The bill creates a $15,000 fund to purchase such magazines from their owners. The owners must either sell their magazines to law enforcement or risk criminal prosecution once the law is enacted.<\/p>\n<p>Democrats argues the law would cut down on the carnage of any potential future mass shootings. Critics <a href=\"https:\/\/whyy.org\/articles\/delaware-senate-approves-gun-permit-requirements-and-high-capacity-magazine-ban\/\">said<\/a> the law would just prevent law-abiding gun owners from purchasing such magazines while criminals would buy theirs illegally. Republican State Sen. Dave Lawson said that Delaware residents had a Constitutional right to ignore the magazine ban if it\u2019s enacted.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think people have had enough like I\u2019ve said, and there\u2019s, well it\u2019s a protection in the Constitution that we don\u2019t have to abide by any law that isn\u2019t constitutional \u2014 and these are not constitutional, there\u2019s no way they are,\u201d Lawson said, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.delawarepublic.org\/post\/senate-republicans-frustrated-handling-gun-legislation\">Delaware Public Media<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Senate Bill 3, the second gun control bill, would force Delaware residents to go through a safety course and receive a permit before being allowed to buy a handgun.

After completing a training course, a person would have to submit a permit application to the state Department of Safety and Homeland Security. The department would have 30 days to fingerprint applicants, confirm that they are legally permitted to own a handgun, and issue a \u201cqualified purchaser card.\u201d The card would be valid for 180 days.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
