Delaware Fairy County will probably become the latest local government in Pennsylvania, which prohibits ghost pistols and fast weapons devices when court cases are underway in Philadelphia.
The Alsoiletical Council of the Council will vote next month in the regulation on prohibiting unlicensed sales, production and utilize of parts for 3D printed pistols without a serial number known as Ghost Guns. The regulation would also prohibit weapons, including tumor reserves and GLOCK switches, which generally transform firearms into automatic weapons.
On Wednesday, introducing the regulation, all five members of the Delaware Council showed support for this measure, arguing that this is an vital way to limit violence with weapons in the counting without violating the rights to a second amendment or state provisions regarding weapons.
“We must take bold, necessary steps to stop this problem from getting out of control,” said the member of the Council Christine Reuther. “Although we cannot regulate firearms, we have all reasons to think that we can regulate parts of firearms.”
If it is approved, Delaware’s unit would be the first of the collars in Philadelphia, which forbade the devices, and among the first in state they took a step.
During a public interrogation on Wednesday, dozens of inhabitants of Delaware expressed support for the modern law because they could take on officials of a miniature step.
Marge Larue, whose grandson, 14-year-old Nick Elizalde, died during the Roxborough High School shooting in 2022, argued that Delaware’s county should even work because federal officials and were based on weapons and often expanded access to firearms.
“Is it better to use your resources than keeping children alive?” Larue said. “You can’t save Nick. Save others.”
Ghost pistols can be combined on the basis of sets that often do not contain a serial number, which hinders tracking firearms and more accessible to people prohibiting possession of weapons.
Federal provisions reduced the utilize of ghost pistols across the country, and the GLOCK switches are illegal in accordance with federal law. But supporters of Pennsylvania’s weapon control renew the emphasis on local bans for fear that the administration of President Donald Trump will reverse or not enforce these principles. In addition, the US Supreme Court Review of challenges for federal regulations regarding Ghost Guns.
If the federal regulations are eliminated, supporters argue, more converters and ghost pistols will be produced and distributed.
The proposed regulation in Delaware is a penalty of up to 10 days in prison and a fine of USD 1000.
“We have many recipes that if you shoot someone, you can be arrested, but our goal is to stop shooting,” said Adam Garber, General CEO of Beasionfire Pa, a group of arms control.
Philadelphia was the first city in the state that introduced bans on Ghost Guns and Machine Pistols as part of constant efforts to enforce local weapon limits. The city is currently fighting with separate lawsuits, which argue that the ordinances violate the Pennsylvania Premonation Act, which prohibits the local government of firearms.
Last year, Commonwealth Court voted 4-3 to maintain a ban on weapons of the city’s spirits. The case is now before the State Supreme Court. The ban on the city in bats were challenged in court within a few days of its approval last year.
President of the City Council Philadelphia, Kenyatta Johnson, a democrat who supported the legislation of Ghost Gun in the city, thanked the officials of Delaware for the introduction of the regulation even in the face of court challenges. He said that his legislation “raised the level of consciousness in the Police Department in Philadelphia to concentrate on the laser after those who carry ghost weapons.”
“We still have to continue the fight to make sure that we will get pistols out of the street,” he said on Thursday in an interview. “However, I believe that this raised the awareness of law enforcement agencies of a specially attacker and ghost -ghost.”
Although Delaware’s County The regulation contributed to the overwhelming support on Wednesday, met with some withdrawal of residents who claimed that it did not deal with the original causes of violence and violated the rights of weapons owners.
Justin Perry, a resident of Upper Providence, argued that hobbyists and weapons enthusiasts should be able to create their own weapons as citizens who follow the law and that people are already illegal to sell a gun with printed in 3D without a serial number.
“When someone makes a weapon only to satisfy the demand for illegal supply, they are already breaking the law of weapons without remorse,” he said.
