    Gun bills up for consideration. Here is a list of some bills and proposals relating to gun violence that could be discussed in Tuesday's legislative session:

    I can only guess but.....It's probably one or two Philly area delegates (is that what they call them in PA.???) that submitted all of those bills.

    I hope they get their asses handed to them squarely and never crawl out of their cave again.

    I especially like this one:

    HB 764: Bans sale or ownership of assault weapons, except for those who already own such weapons, provided they pass a background check and safely store and register weapons.

    You can keep it, as long as you submit to ANOTHER background check.


    You can read the rest of the bills and clearly see that socialists have invaded PA.

    Don't say we didn't warn you fellas.

    Those of you that read my Posts know that I am a member of a Pa. Gun Club. This Club has a Monthly Member Meeting. At one meeting a few months back I took the Floor and informed those in attendence of what is coming Pa.'s way as far as Gun Legislation. I sensed they didn't believe me!:innocent0
    Spot, I'm hearing a few of the Harrisburg City Council Members:tdown: are the instigators (they attempted to Ban AWs in that City last year) and now they are creating an alliance with anti-gunners from :tdown: Pittsburg & :tdown: Philly. I understand that all are being abeted by:tdown: :tdown: Maryland anti-gun Politicos. Looks as though the anti-gunners are now taking a Regional approach!
