Democrats in charge of the Delaware State Senate have signed off on a bill that would compel gun owners to turn their “high capacity” magazines to law enforcement in exchange for a cash stipend or else face criminal prosecution, less than a week after the bill was first introduced in the state legislature.

The magazine confiscation bill was one of two gun control measures approved by the Democrat-controlled Senate on Thursday, and with House Democrats vowing to fast track the anti-gun bills as well, the legislation could be headed to the governor’s desk as early as next week.

Senate Bill 6 defines a “high capacity” ammunition magazine as any that can hold more than 17 rounds of ammunition, and under the terms of the legislation all current owners would be required to hand over their legally-purchased magazines to police by June 30th, 2022. The bill sets aside $15,000 in funding for the compensated confiscation effort, which is almost identical to a California law that’s currently being challenged in the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.

The other bill approved by the Senate is just as bad, quite honestly. It would create a brand new hurdle for those wanting to exercise their right to keep arms by requiring them to obtain a permit-to-purchase before they can legally acquire a handgun.
