Tomorrow, the Delaware Senate could vote on Senate Bill 82, legislation that would significantly expand the state’s red flag law by extending the duration of a Lethal Violence Protective Order from 1 year to 5 years. Please use the Take Action button below to contact your state senator today and respectfully urge them to oppose SB 82.
SB 82 would allow individuals to remain subject to an extreme risk protection order for up to five years with no mandatory review process. The respondent would only be entitled to one hearing to contest the order during that entire five-year period. This creates a system where an individual's rights could be stripped away for a lengthy duration with minimal oversight or opportunity for redress.
Stay tuned to the NRA-ILA website for updates as the legislative session continues.
