What is RKBA PA coming to---------------Gun Control is "popular" only with the NJ/NY transplants and DEM libs...............the local paper has it's own heap of bias too:

"Roughly four years ago, state lawmakers from the Philadelphia region grew tired of the gun violence that plagued the city's neighborhoods and looked to Harrisburg for relief."
Because they are too incompetant and in fear of their voter base backlash to take appropriate action.


"The lack of success in Harrisburg has provoked mayors from the state's largest cities -- including Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Allentown, Bethlehem and Easton -- to consider or propose identical legislation..........."
Never mind that those same cities are already rife with crime committed by a common element.

"Polls have shown that a majority of Pennsylvania residents favor more gun regulation. Since 2000, Franklin & Marshall College's Center for Opinion Research has conducted at least 20 separate polls where they asked residents if they favored increased gun regulation. Each time, more than 50 percent of the respondents said yes."

Total BS - funny how I know of no one ever contacted by pollsters on this issue!

where the reporting bill and its supporters were soundly defeated 128 to 75.

This should be all the reporter (and mayors) needs to conclude, the idea just isn't popular. It boggles my mind that the title states gun control is popular.

'The reason we have not been successful is because lawmakers are afraid of the NRA, but it's a false fear,'' Rendell said. ''I won two statewide elections without the support of the NRA.''

In the past year, records show that the NRA has spent more than $40,000 lobbying in the state. Since 2002, the organization's political action committee also has made at least 87 contributions to campaigns on both sides of the aisle, totalling $40,825, according to state campaign finance reports.

Sounds pretty cheap to me.



The writer sounds pretty warped to me.

Law?

So, did they pass a law?

If not, are they planning to? And is there a bill?

Or is it basically thinking about making a law?

If it's about a law that's in place, then the details are pertinent.

If it's about a law that's in the works, then -- as long as there's an action line that can be taken -- it's more of an activism thing.


If, however, no law happened, no law is in the works, and we're griping that someone thinks a new law is a good idea . . . that would be more politics than legal.

Enlighten, please?

Apparently the gun grabbers have never heard the saying "No means no."
