Committee Of The Whole

On (Gun) Crime & Violence

September 26, 2006

EPIC Gun Control Battle Ahead for Pennsylvania

The upcoming gun control debate, called a ‘Committee of the Whole’, scheduled for September 26^th could be the defining battle for freedoms and responsible government not only in Pennsylvania but also for the entire East Coast.

Anti-gun legislators, led by Representative Dwight Evans (D-Philadelphia), in close cooperation with virtually all forms of PA media, are pushing new gun control measures in Harrisburg.  The Pennsylvania Democratic Party funded a poll of 400 likely voters that indicates suburban residents are concerned about gun violence. In a calculated attempt to manipulate this worthless poll, Rep. Evans has stated that "legislators should move beyond boundary lines and party labels to take action on gun control."

They want to do the following:
1. Criminalize failing to report that your gun was stolen (re-victimize the victim of theft).
2. One Gun-a-Month Rationing (intended to harm gun shows and collectors).
3. Weaken Preemption - (Let the Corrupt Philly politicians or other local municipalities write their own gun laws).
4. Ban Semiautomatic rifles, pistols and shotguns by labeling them assault weapons (much more restrictive than the defunct federal ban; if fact if they have their way, PA will have more restrictive laws than New Jersey or California).
5. Ballistic fingerprinting (of all new firearms).
6. Legalize firearms registration.
7. Mandatory use of trigger locks
8. Bans on permit holders carrying firearm in municipal buildings, and other areas.
9. Whatever else Philadelphia Politicians can come up with to blame their failings on us.
