But does Rendell support only one beating per demonstration?

And for an ordinary citizen, one gun a month means the ordinary citiizen can buy 12 a year. How is that a possible intrusion on the rights of ordinary citizens?

I forbid you from reading more than one book a month.

Lynn Swann is the opposite of the sleazy, leftist socialist revolutionary Democrat, Rendell. When will the people of Pennsylvania wake up and start placing honest, intelligent people into office? Swann is a person of grace, dignity, intelligence, and class. He is what the people of the State of Pennsylvania need for governor. But who will the people choose?

Fewer guns per month, restricted to smaller calibers, reducing the length of handgun barrel or increasing the length of the rifle barrel you are allowed to buy, reducing the velocity of the ammunition you can buy, etc. There is little end to the creative ways an enemy of freedom can slice off bits of your rights. However, never do they provide scientific evidence that the net effect is greater safety to you. In fact, that is not the intent so the idea of basing these proposed rules on hard evidence of effectiveness doesn't concern them.

For me, devoted to preserving history, the one-gun-per-month law puts up another obstacle to preserving a collection. When a veteran passes away, his widow will take the 2-3 guns he brought back as war souvenirs and throw them away or take them to the police dept for destruction and the information they provide about battles or people from that time is lost.

When the owner of a large and often historically important collection passes away or decides it is time to sell the collection, it goes up for auction. One-gun-per-month laws make it impossible to transfer the collection intact to another collector or researcher. I run into this problem where such laws already exist. Getting govt agencies to recognize and accommodate these situations is a difficult or impossible task.

In other words, these laws don't have no established societal benefit but do make it more difficult for good people to engage in legitimate activities. When you watch the movie, "Flags of our Fathers" just remember that many of the arms you see in the film are daily being lost and destroyed because of dishonest politicians and laws that ignore and work against preserving our history. Also remember that human rights such as self-defense, which those soldiers fought for, have been mocked and trashed in recent decades. What did those soldiers accomplish?

If Rendell wins, proof that Pennsylvania really does belong north of the Mason-Dixon Line. Why is this gun grabbing mentality so historically prevalent in Yankee states? Please, no slight to Freepers living in those areas is intended.

Rendell promised property tax relief - it never happened!

Rendel raised the income tax rates!

It's time for a change in Harrisburg!
