PA Republican Pushes Permit Requirement for Ammo Purchases
bre ^ | 3/20/2020 | AWR Hawkins

Pennsylvania State Rep. Thomas Murt (R) is pushing a permit requirement for ammunition purchases throughout the state.

His legislation — HB 2344 — has been referred to the PA’s House Judiciary Committee and is filed with the memo, “Addressing Gun Violence and Enhancing Public Health and Safety.”

Page 21 of the 25-page bill sets forth details of Murt’s proposed “Ammunition Purchase Authorization Permits,” saying, “A person holding an ammunition purchase authorization permit issued under this section may purchase or otherwise seek the transfer of ownership of ammunition from a retailer that sells ammunition.”

The proposed permits would be valid for four years and carry a fee “not to exceed $50.”

In addition to mandating state residents acquire a permit to buy bullets, Murt’s legislation sets for a surcharge for gun and ammo sales: “There is hereby imposed on each sale of a firearm or ammunition subject to tax under Article II of the act of March 4, 1971 (P.L.6, No.2), known as the Tax Reform Code of 1971, an additional surcharge of $3. This shall be referred to as the Firearm and Ammunition Sale Surcharge.”

NOT a corona-virus response. Normal(?) everyday legislation. Like so many others, a disgrace to the citizens of Pennsylvania.

He’s NOT running for reelection, so ignore his virtue signaling.

The small tyrants running Pennsylvania have discovered what so many other small tyrants throughout the country have: With enough votes you can amend the U.S. Constitution without involving other states and without going through that pesky “ammendment process”.

Dunno. But he’s definitely stupid, past his due date and anti-American. Needs to flushed like a runny turd.

Any gun violence primarily takes place in a couple of square miles of ghetto neighborhoods. So the solution is to penalize the whole state?

Good question. He’s married with three kids, but something is in that smirk on his face . . . (FTR, he’s also an enemy of fracking)

Given the counties he represents, RINOs would certainly take the left-wing myopic view.

Higher taxes, more paperwork, anti-gun, anti-fracking positions?

So he is a democrat in RINO’s clothing.

All RINOs are Democrats in Republican garb. There is no separate species “RINO”, really.
