(DOVER, Del.) - Delaware lawmakers are split on a bill which could ban bump stocks for guns
"No, I'm not going to be able to support the bill as it's written," said Representative Dave Wilson.
Bump stocks, often used by hunters, usually provide the ability to shoot with rapid repetition.
The bill is a response to the massacre earlier this year in Las Vegas. Representative Ruth Briggs-King believes the bill is too reactionary.
"It tends to be drafted by people who really don't understand what they are seeking to legislate," Briggs-King said.
Some don't believe a ban is a solution for stopping crime.
"When guns are in the hands of outlaws they are only going to be in the hands of outlaws. The same with this. People who want to commit a crime, are gonna figure out a way to do it," Representative Wilson added.
But Representative Ron Gray sees it differently.
"The awareness that this bill brings out. We need to make sure people are safe in our public, Gray said.
The bill currently says those who own bumps stocks including hunters would have to turn them in or be considered a criminal.
Representative Gray generally supports the bill's idea but does not believe who own bump stocks legally should be punished.
