'I think we need to be proactive instead of reactive.' The state House on Thursday approved a bill banning the sale or possession of a wide variety of semiautomatic firearms in Delaware.
The ban on what the bill describes as assault weapons targets more than 60 specific models of semiautomatic rifles, pistols and shotguns, as well as “copycat weapons.”
The amended version requires only one additional feature to make a firearm subject to the ban and significantly expands the number and types of such features to include some commonly found on semiautomatic pistols. Longhurst, a Democrat from Bear, said her bill is one piece of a comprehensive approach to address gun violence that includes better mental health supports and school safety measures.Beautiful Friday Afternoon To Be Outdoors Before Overcast Skies, Rain Move Into Philadelphia Region This Weekend
