Delaware Attorney General Kathy Jennings has successfully blocked the federal government from distributing machine gun conversion devices throughout the First State and 16 other jurisdictions.
The Delaware AG spearheaded a multi-state legal coalition alongside New Jersey and Maryland that reached a settlement with the Trump Administration on Friday. The agreement prevents thousands of these conversion devices from being distributed to Delaware and the other participating states.
The attorneys general filed a notice of voluntary dismissal on Friday, effectively closing their legal challenge after securing the protective agreement. The coalition’s efforts ensure these devices will not make their way into Delaware communities.
The settlement represents a significant victory for public safety advocates who have raised concerns about the proliferation of devices that can convert firearms into automatic weapons.
