SB6 introduces a precise explanation for the term “large-capacity magazine” as an ammunition-feeding mechanism with the potential to hold more than 17 rounds of ammunition. Additionally, it forbids the production, vending, offering for sale, procurement, receipt, transfer, or ownership of a large-capacity magazine and violating this restriction is deemed a class E felony.
The Delaware State House of Representatives passed SB6 on June 16, 2022 by a vote of 23 to 18. We have assigned pluses to the nays because the fundamental right of the American people to keep and bear arms is protected by the U.S. Constitution, particularly in the 2nd, 9th, and 10th Amendments, and should not be infringed. The Constitution does not limit an individual’s firearm capacity.
