HB63 does nothing to impact the rights of responsible gun nuts. Opposing HB63 literally means that you support irresponsible gun ownership.
This Act revises the crime of “unlawfully permitting a child access to a firearm,” an existing class A misdemeanor under Delaware law. The offense is renamed “unsafe storage of a firearm” to place emphasis on firearm safety and proper storage. Under the revised statute, a crime is committed when a person intentionally or recklessly stores or leaves a loaded firearm where a minor or other person prohibited by law, or “unauthorized person,” can access the firearm, and the unauthorized person obtains the firearm.
NRA stooge, Pete Schwartzkopf, allowed a similar bill to die in the Senate last year.
Danny Short provided the usual NRA talking points in his opposition to the bill.
“At the end of the day, what is the substance of the bill that will actually drive results?” he said. “I don’t think it does anything, really.”
In other words, “This bill doesn’t end all gun crime everywhere so I oppose it.” This transparent ridiculousness only prevails while NRA stooge, Pete Schwartzkopf, allows it to prevail.
