Firearms Registration Act Introduced in Pennsylvania

[Aim1]

Bill would require gun owners in the Keystone State to register their firearms with the Pennsylvania State Police

Perfect to go along with Red Flag laws so they can come confiscate weapons more easily.

Welcome to Big Brother Land. A good chance anyone with more than 2 will fall into the "possible" terrorist category.

Isn't all three branches of Government in Pennsylvania controlled by Republicans?

All this would do is show where all of the legal firearms are. What it wouldn't show is where the illegal ones are.....

They don't CARE about the illegal firearms.

They consider the people who have them allies, not a threat like you.

 

[Tommygunn]

So .... it begins ......

 

[Enfielder]

They gonna make a lot of criminals that way. Pennsylvanians ain't much for that kind of crap.

Governor is Democrat and term limited on his last term through 2022 I believe. Last I checked, the House and Senate are still controlled by Republicans for what that is worth. PA Supreme Court is dominated by Dems from past elections. There is a real east-west political split in PA along with urban and rural and firearms are an issue in that split.

House and Senate are controlled by Republicans. Shouldn't go anywhere. At least it won't if they want to keep their jobs.

Hopefully it won't go anywhere, but it does help to show what the end goal is and that all their work is toward registration so they can take them away more easily, whether they get nuts and try door to door, or attrition, or some of both plus...

Vote pro gun, both sides of the isle. Registration leads to confiscation, leads to.....well, read your history books, while you still can.

Unlikely to pass in PA. Similar things have been proposed by Philadelphia Dems in the past. But I'll continue watching. I still have family in PA that I visit regularly.

 

[P5 Guy]

Philly or P-burgh are the only ones favoring firearms restrictions.

Until they ban certain categories of firearms, then it will show where the (newly) illegal ones are.

 

[RovinOn]

Coming out of Philly, I don’t expect any less. This just made it to the committee stage and I believe it has a nil to none chance of passing.
But it is something that needs to be watched and if passed as stated above it is going to make a lot of Pennsylvanians criminals!

 

[Pudge]

Philly or P-burgh are the only ones favoring firearms restrictions.

That's where the population is. Remarkably similar to Illinois. Pennsylvania benefits so much in so many ways from its hunting heritage. I'm worried that the writing is on the wall. Fewer hunters year after year, means the number of voters who hunt is shrinking.

Oh no, the terrible boating accidents about to ensue in all around the state

 

[giggitygiggity]

Let’s give Philly to NJ and not allow Pittsburgh to receive any state funding. Philly is full of gun grabbing Dems and Pittsburgh wants to ignore PA’s preemption despite the Allegheny County DA warning that officials can be criminally prosecuted for disobeying preemption. Those two cities are on their own programs and try to make PA a mini CA or NY.

No - mine fell through the ice.

Step one--Rgister
Step two--Seize & destroy
Step three---Arrest all that do not comply.

 

[Texas10mm]

Step one--Rgister
Step two--Seize & destroy
Step three---Kill all that do not comply.

Fixed it for ya.

 

[Deanimator]

Fixed it for ya.

Don't worry. They'll probably kill more than a few who NEVER owned guns by going to the wrong addresses or making up imaginary informants.

This bill won't go anywhere. This a just a "marker," positioning the sponsors for the next election.

What I find interesting, though, is the openness of the sponsors in tipping their hand. What this tells me is that they've done their calculations and concluded that this is a net plus for them politically, rather than a net negative. The time was, not so long ago, that in states like Pennsylvania gun control was the "third rail" that would fry anyone who touched it. Evidently that's not true any more, and that represents a sea change.

In northern Virginia, the local politicians are bragging about their "F" ratings from the NRA. 20 or 30 years ago, some of these same people were touting their "A" ratings. Nationally, look at Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand -- she went from a "A" rating to being one of the leading antigunners.

That's the way most states are with the chronic poor, under lib control in the urban areas, with those "independent people" (conservatives) in the suburban and rural areas.
