Our wonderful legislature has proposed a new edit to Delaware law in this session that could allow all gun shops to be sued out of business.
Currently delaware law protects FFls from being sued for a negligent transfer of a firearm if they follow all the requirements for Federal and Delaware law in transferring a firearm. That means doing an NICS background check, form 4478, and the person they sell the firearm to receives a proceed as they are legally able to buy a firearm.
The Legislature wants to strike the section from the law that makes it an affirmative defense and prevents the FFL from being sued for the illegal acts of a third party. In the case that prompted this a woman bought a gun legally at Cabelas and then gave it to her felon boyfriend who sold it to another felon who was a juvenile. That felon shot another teen dead and the teen's Family is suing Cabelas the FFL that sold the gun.
My legislators work for Michael Bloomberg and Americans for Handgun safety / Moms demand action.
I believe this is Bloomberg's new national strategy, to put shops out of business.
