Vote NO to SB 6

Assigned to FULL Senate for consideration | Tuesday, June 7, 2022 at 2:00 pm

SB 6 MAGAZINE CAPACITY IS BACK! We last saw this last year and it was already voted out of committee; it just never went to the Senate floor for a vote. It is now going to the full Senate for consideration.

As defined by House Amendment 2 to SB 6: A large capacity magazine is any magazine that exceeds 20 rounds of ammunition for a handgun and 30 rounds for a long gun.

Rumor has it that legislators intend to do away with the amendments and bring this bill back to its full glory. 😤

We are absolutely OPPOSED to this legislation.

** SB 6 has been gutted with three amendments, one of which is mentioned above. During a virtual meeting the evening on June 2, 2022 between the Attorney General, US Senator Chris Coons, and Representatives and Senators from the Democratic caucus, they spoke about removing the amendments. We are opposed to this legislation, and OPPOSED to removing the amendments.
