Last night, the Senate Judiciary Committee passed House Bill 311, restricting firearms on college campuses and college-owned properties, even for concealed carry permit holders. This legislation is now eligible for a floor vote. Please contact your state senator by using the Take Action button below and urge them to OPPOSE this legislation.
HB 311 could lead to confusion among concealed carry permit holders who may not realize they are on property owned by a college or university. HB 311 adds all colleges and universities to the Safe School Zone criminal offense so that any person who knowingly possesses a firearm while in or on a college or university campus or property may be charged with an additional offense. Under Delaware's definition of a firearm, anyone found in possession of an airsoft or paintball gun would be guilty of violating this law. A person convicted under this section will be guilty of a Class E felony and will permanently lose their Second Amendment rights.
Delaware: the Belgium of the US.
Your protest may be the one needed to block this bill from further consideration!
Ongoing governor-instigated progressive legislative insults to the Second Amendment Right have changed much of that, while many other more sensible states have relaxed their harmful prohibitions, and thereby been safer states from gun violence as a proven unarguable benefit, uniformly.
Pundits warned of major issues, however there have been none.
Idaho campuses are, thus, likely more safe than those in Delaware.
An unarmed school is not safe.
Actually, Delawares gun violence has not taken place on high school or college campuses, and there are quite a few for a state population of not quite a million. Most of the instances have been within the inner city limits, but outside the schools.
Most of the excuses for instituting greater infringements of the Second Amendment have been figments of the imaginations instituted by parties longing to achieve greater control of the population, part of it being a neurotic fear of guns in those who have never possessed, been trained in, or used firearms in sporting or self-protection purposes. They are simply not aware that where gun controls are implemented, those who are criminally minded only see that as a greater opportunity for their use on an unarmed population.
Still More #ComDem_Insanity!
“A person convicted under this section will be guilty of a Class E felony and will permanently lose their Second Amendment rights.”
Everyone else will also lose their Second Amendment rights just with the passing of this legislation.
It’s just a tiny bit of infringement. /s
EC
The schools should outlaw certified crazy people or known psychotropic drug users or felons from having guns on their campus. Students could go to out of state school which doesn’t have that law or take unnecessary education requirements online to minimize exposure on campus.
