Santora said it is a “common-sense” bill.

“We’re not trying to take away Second Amendment rights. Anyone who has a gun should have a background check,” he said. “If it saves one life, I did my job.”

The bill is said to “ensure that individuals attempting to obtain a firearm are authorized to possess such weapons,” according to a January memo to the House.

**TOOL**

I “owned” a Rifle and a Shotgun when I was eight years old, but that was when my Brother took his .22 to School since he was in the Shooting Club and you could buy a War Surplus Anti Tank Cannon from an Ad in the back of a Magazine.

We lived in the country, across from a gravel pit/quarry. I got one.

Delco is now a cesspool that the Philadelphia swamp seeps into. We moved when the Catholic school in our town shut down and demographics shifted. The Irish heritage is long gone in many parts. Just the name of bars remain. Upper Darby is corrupt and rotten to the core.

I hear those are effective on helicopters, too.

Indeed. Though the Elephant Gun wasn't particularly useful against anything much more current than very early WWII amphibious and light tanks, it still had some utility against armored cars and personnel carriers. And then along came armed helicopters, worse, armored armed helo gunships like the Soviet Hind D/Gorbach.

Though the L/39 on the ground mount skids wasn't particularly helpful, the Finnish *fencepost mount* allowed enough elevation to handle flying targets, as well as enough power to completely ruin a helicopter's engine. Add it a 20-round magazine, and their usefulness was not quite at an end.

And so the things have been dragged kicking and screaming into the XXI Century. Ammo is now running $35-#50 per round, but there are a few things that can be done about that, too.
