The AR-15 and AK-47 are two examples of semiautomatic “assault” rifles that are illegal in Delaware because of gun safety laws that were passed in 2022. However, people who owned these weapons before the laws were passed can keep them as long as they meet certain requirements. The law also prohibits large-capacity magazines, rendering devices owned prior to its enactment ineffective.

People from the state who want to buy illegal guns or magazines, a gun dealer, the Firearms Policy Coalition, and the Second Amendment Foundation are challenging the law.

They said the lower courts were mistaken when they said that “deprivation of Second Amendment rights necessarily constitutes an irreparable injury. ” In 2023, the plaintiffs asked a federal judge for an injunction, but the judge said no. The 3rd U.

S. Circuit Court of Appeals, based in Philadelphia, upheld that decision in 2024.
