Delaware bans assault weapons and high cap mags.

No rumblings of this crap in Massholistan?

Nah they’re worried about “ghost guns” and “3D printed Glock switches”.

Direct quote: “Glock switches are illegal devices that allow a standard semi-automatic Glock pistol to fire as a fully-automatic handgun, according to the ATF.

WBMA reported the device, with the pull of a trigger, can empty a 30-round magazine clip in less than two seconds and can fire 1,200 rounds in one minute, when equipped on a firearm.

The switches can also be created by a 3D printer.”

It’s already illegal… There’s no way you could stop somebody with the most basic skills for making one. Never mind that they are available online if you’re an idiot..

Lightning links, drop in auto sears, what we are now calling “Glock switches”.. Are so readily available online its unbelievable…

This is all political theater anybody can find M 16 fire control group and with one drill bit and one end Mill and a shitty hand held drill can make any ar15 go giggly.

I want one of those magazines.
 
Passed in 2018. There was a case against in 2019 that was lost, and lost its appeal in 2021

It's been discussed in here a little bit, but here's the Press Release from VT's AG:
That's sad. I've only been to VT once in my life and it seemed nice. Although I got some strong Arlington vibes from people. Blah.
 
Really? When was that passed

As stated is old news, but because of the way the law is written it wasn't as highly controversial as other states. I'm not saying it isn't total infringing bullshit, just in VT nobody is worried about what sorta notches their Glock mags have etc etc
 
...seventeen rounds?

WTF?

Could they not at least make it an even number for those of us with mild OCD?
For once, they are thinking I guess. No one makes a 15 round mag for the AR platform. 10-20 (AR 10), 30. Oh well Yankees, enjoy your socialism.


Until it leeches south.

This was when Magpul delivered a pallet of standard cap PMAGS and we're passing them out for hours at the capitol. Right?

Maybe? I forget. I wasn't paying a ton of attention to VT at the time. I remembered being told their constitution precludes such things. Turns out we'd all heard wrong.
 
Delaware. One more state competing for pre-bans in this country. Are they the same US Circuit court as Maryland? If so, any court cases coming from there won’t create a court-split?
 
17 is a really weird number to choose for a state ban though. Almost always 10 with the occasional 7 low ball. Never seen a 7.

I think the only other oddball is OH's 31 rounds or more equals machinegun somehow.

I must have mumbled before, because you didn't hear me.
17 rounds is standard capacity for G17 & G34.
 
Bill must have been written to target support from FUDDs that love handguns but hate scary rifles.
This is it. Delaware has got to be the FUDDiest FUDD group of 'gun owners' I've ever seen. Most shops don't even bother stocking ARs or common pistols (since I started going there in ~2014) and its a land of shotguns and 7# shot fur muh huntin. They're probably happier now because of this.
 
Yeah I know that. But why would a state law care about it?

Because someone actually cares about creating "felons in waiting" out of legal gun owners?

That's probably not it.

I do know that the NY SAFE act originally had a cap of 7; and I believe that it was because the authors were thinking of 1911s.

Frankly, the laws regarding magazines are even more confusing, if possible, than the laws regarding firearms.

Did DE allow grandfathers? I don't know much about the law.

This is what I found online, pertinent bolded.

Original Text:

This Substitute Act creates the Delaware Large-Capacity Magazine Prohibition Act of 2022, which does the following: (1) Includes a clear definition for the term “large-capacity magazine” as an ammunition feeding device with a capacity to accept more than 17 rounds of ammunition. (2) Prohibits the manufacture, sale, offer for sale, purchase, receipt, transfer, or possession of a large-capacity magazine. Violation of this prohibition is a class E felony. (3) Prohibits the possession of a large-capacity magazine during the commission of a felony. Violation of this prohibition is a class B felony. This Substitute Act also establishes a buyback program for large-capacity magazines, to be overseen by the Department of Safety and Homeland Security.

Then I found a list of amendments, including:
This amendment changes the penalty for a first-time violation involving only possession of a large-capacity magazine to a civil violation involving a $100 fee, and a second violation involving only possession, is a class B misdemeanor. All other violations, including a subsequent offense for possession of a large-capacity magazine, remain a class E felony. This amendment also clarifies that the presence of a removable floor plate in an ammunition feeding device that is not capable of accepting more than 17 rounds of ammunition is not, without more, sufficient evidence that the ammunition feeding device can readily be converted to hold more than 17 rounds of ammunition. This amendment also clarifies that it is not a violation of § 1466 of Title 11 if a resident renders a large-capacity magazine permanently inoperable or permanently modifies the magazine to accept 17 rounds of ammunition or less. Finally, this amendment changes the compensation program from $10 for each large-capacity magazine to the market rate for each large-capacity magazine.

So, unlike RI's proposed magazine law regarding "removable floor plates", but I see no grandfathering.

Yeah I know that. But why would a state law care about it?
Probably because they know it would get struck down if however many million of modern pistol owners became felons, and would have basically made it so modern pistols couldn't be sold in state any longer. One of those ignored SCOTUS decisions talks about in common use or some useless shit, right?

I never thought of that. It makes sense though coming from their weird FUDD point of views though.
 
I have 50 round drums for my G17, and a bunch of 33 Round Happy sticks.

Malodave

I've got a couple 33 round mags. I tried them once in a 17 or 34, didn't really care for them - the balance was all off. It was fun, like for shits and giggles - but nothing more. They work very well in my 9mm PCCs.

I've got a couple 24 round OEM mags, but they're over the 140mm limit for USPSA, so they're for SHTF and PCC games.

The 17 round mags with a Shield Arms extension work really well for USPSA - 22 rounds and fit the 140mm gauge.
