The NRA is reporting that an important gun law reform will be coming up for a vote this week. From the nraila.org:
Next week, the Pennsylvania Legislature returns from its summer break, and the NRA has learned that the state House of Representatives may be considering a vote on House Bill 2011 as early as next Monday. This critical firearms preemption legislation is needed to strengthen and provide consistency in Pennsylvania’s firearm and ammunition laws throughout the state. To date, nearly fifty municipalities have enacted illegal local gun control ordinances including Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Lancaster, Reading and the state capital of Harrisburg. Enough is enough.I wrote about the law back in March. There are very good reasons to pass this law. It is popular with the legislature, and the anti-rights types hate it, because it provides needed limits on government power. Local tyranny is still tyranny.
This is Pennsylvania, where even most Dems vote against gun control. It will pass. The only question is whether it will have a huge, veto-proof majority.
Supposedly they still have a Republican governor...we’ll see if he’s serious about trying to stay in office.
Are you kidding? Corbett will sign this in gold ink.
