I’M ON ONE OF THESE BRIEFS WITH DAVE KOPEL: Second Amendment Roundup: Delaware’s Gun Ban Heats Up: Third Circuit briefing is ongoing in challenge to rifle ban signed into law just a week after Bruen. “Delaware plagiarized California’s 1989 findings that it was imperative to ban any gun that is not a ‘sports or recreational firearm.’ The state ignored the Delaware Bill of Rights guarantee of the right to bear arms ‘for the defense of self, family, home and State,’ and disregarded Heller’s admonition that self-defense is ‘the central component of the right itself.’ Delaware copied a definition from Connecticut that criminalizes a rifle depending on where one’s fingers are placed when firing, and Maryland’s long list of banned rifles, such as the Colt AR-15. Curiously, that list excludes AR-15 HBAR (heavy barrel) rifles, unless made by Bushmaster – any semiauto rifle made by that firm is banned.”
