Weapons like the AR-15 have no place in our communities
These bills focus on weapons like the AR-15 that are designed to kill as many people as possible. They have no place in our communities, and

Mike Ramone:
Opposed bill requiring permit to purchase handguns
A controversial bill seeking to require law-abiding Delawareans to get a government permit before they can acquire a handgun was recently moved one step closer to becoming law through the most shameful of tactics.
Senate Substitute 1 for Senate Bill 2, also known as the Permit to Purchase bill, flies in the face of the constitutional right granted to all Delawareans to acquire, possess and use firearms for hunting, recreation and defense.
