PA seems safe. A few Phithadelphia legislators are introducing some new restrictions. However they have no chance of passing. PA would be a red state in the Presidental elections if it were not for Philthy.

I see a large turnout in April for the 2nd Amendment rally in Harrisburg. Typical Philly BS.
Our new anti gun nazi attorney general has just started changing riciprocity rules with Florida.

I think here in the midwest, barring CO,MN and WI, you stand a better chance of getting a bill passed saying that you HAVE to own a AR15, along with several 30 rd mags.

Governor Potatohead and the Madigan Mob is working hard to come up with a ban on semi-autos in Illinois.
 
WV has not saw any legislation introduced yet, but Joe Manchin can't make his mind up if hes for a AWB or against it. Seems as if his view changes daily.
 
Speaking of PA...

Dear Mr. Beitler:

Thank you for taking the time to contact me about recent proposals related to guns. I appreciate hearing from you about this issue.

As you know, on December 14, 2012, an individual in Newtown, Connecticut forced his way into Sandy Hook Elementary School and opened fire on teachers and staff in the building. In total, the perpetrator murdered 20 students between the ages of six and seven years old, as well as six adults, many of whom heroically sought to stop the shooter and save the lives of children. Like many Americans, I was deeply affected by the scope and brutality of this act. My thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families.

The motives that led to this senseless massacre will likely never fully be comprehended. However, I believe that all public officials have a responsibility to work to prevent such an event from occurring again. This incident reflects a complex problem that requires a comprehensive strategy, including funding for law enforcement officers and the mental health care system. Too many individuals with mental illness are not receiving the services they need and tragically, sometimes a small number of these individuals turn violent. I have supported access to affordable and accessible mental health services for all Americans and I will continue to review proposed solutions to improve our mental health system. As lawmakers consider an appropriate response to this challenging issue, we should consider all of the factors that could prevent such heinous acts.

As you may know, I am a strong supporter of the Second Amendment. Pennsylvania has a fine hunting and sporting tradition, and I will defend the right to bear arms as it is enshrined in our Constitution. I will continue to back the right to bear arms for purposes of self-defense, recreation, sporting and collection. However, I also believe that the attack at Sandy Hook Elementary School highlights very serious dangers posed to public safety by the misuse of certain weapons and technology originally developed for warfare. According to reports, the shooter was able to kill many children and adults very quickly because he possessed a military-style semiautomatic weapon. He also allegedly used magazines containing up to 30 rounds of ammunition and carried hundreds of rounds more. After much reflection and careful study of the issue, I have decided to support a federal assault weapons ban as well as legislation restricting high capacity magazines. In light of what occurred at Sandy Hook, these are two measures that will lessen the chances that this will happen again. Before supporting such a law, I would first and foremost ensure that it did not unduly abridge the right to bear arms as established by the Second Amendment.

Our Nation has already begun a critical dialogue as we examine what steps must be taken to prevent this type of tragedy in the future. On January 17, 2012, President Obama unveiled a package of proposals to reduce gun violence, which included strengthening the system of background checks, reinstating the assault weapon and high-capacity magazines ban, improving school safety and expanding access to mental health services. I look forward to reviewing these proposals in detail and to working with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to address this complex issue.

On January 24, 2013, Senator Dianne Feinstein of California introduced S. 150, the Assault Weapons Ban of 2013. This legislation would explicitly permit the possession of affected firearms that were owned prior to the bill’s enactment; firearms that are manually operated; firearms used by military, law enforcement and retired law enforcement; and antique weapons. Further, this legislation lists 2,258 hunting and sporting rifles and shotguns that are entirely exempt from the ban.

This legislation would ban the sale, transfer, manufacturing and importation of all semiautomatic rifles that can accept a detachable magazine and have at least one of seven specified military features. S. 150 would further ban semiautomatic pistols that can accept a detachable magazine and have at least one of certain listed military features, as well as ammunition magazines that can accept more than 10 rounds. The Assault Weapons Ban would also regulate the transfer and storage of permitted, grandfathered weapons and allow local law enforcement to use certain federal funds for voluntary gun buyback programs. The Assault Weapons Ban was referred to the Senate Committee on the Judiciary, of which I am not a member. Please be assured that should this legislation come before the full Senate for consideration, I will have your views in mind.

Again, thank you for sharing your thoughts with me. Please do not hesitate to contact me in the future about this or any other matter of importance to you.

For more information on this or other issues, I encourage you to visit my website, http://casey.senate.gov. I hope you will find this online office a comprehensive resource to stay up-to-date on my work in Washington, request assistance from my office or share with me your thoughts on the issues that matter most to you and to Pennsylvania.

Sincerely,
Bob Casey
United States Senator

Of course nothing in beautiful Alaska. Any Pol that suggested a anti gun law here would be tared and feathered. God I love living here.

WA has nothing I'm aware of. "The state of Washington hereby fully occupies and preempts the entire field of firearms regulation". Gun-grabbing cities whine about it, but they can't do anything. That keeps any gun legislation at the state-level so it's hard to sneak anything by and keeps the laws same anywhere inside the state.

I've heard that Maguin, Seattle mayor, wants to go after changing the state constitution on the news. Also, there has been at least one thing proposed...by an ex-cop or military guy, pro-gun, who's now a representative...it actually sounded interesting and I wanted to hear more. I wish I could remember his name!
 
Define "considering". If an Ohio Democrat introduces an anti-gun bill that will never make it out of committee for a floor vote, is Ohio "considering" anti-gun legislation?

No, not really. I was referring to situations in a city, county or state where something is happening governmentally and voters will have to get involved in order to stop it. We see it at the federal level, in some states we see it at the state level or in cities like Oak Harbor we see it at the very most local level.

When my wife and I moved up here, I went to a gun store here in Anchorage to talk about shipping my handguns from down south up here to AK. While there, my wife asked the guy behind the counter for information on procedures for getting a CHP in Alaska to replace hers from down south.

The guy behind the counter explained, "Well, up here, the way we handle concealed carry is so you get a pistol and then pause for a minute and then put it in your pocket. Welcome to America."
 
I've been emailing my representatives like crazy and hope it works. Found out today about the plan for gun control legislation in Kentucky thanks to some Democrat from Louisville. Always thought Kentucky was a common sense state. Guess I am wrong.

I grew up in Louisville. If there are any Leftists in the state, it's there. If I ever move back, it won't be to my old hometown, as much as I loved it there.

:) Spot on. It's amazing how good we have it here. buy it, drop it in your pocket. Or open carry if you wish. It's all good.
I wonder if I moved back outside if I would not be in jail in a week. Permit? Whats that?
 
MO Senate Bill 124 will not pass. No one likes it but Chappelle-Nadal, and I'm going to bet bottom dollar at least no suburban or rural parents who own firearms is going to comply.

How will you know I own a gun? Interrogate my child?

How do you know how I store my arms, that you don't know I own?

$100 fine if I don't tell on myself? Bite me.

$1000 fine if a kid brings a gun to school? You have bigger concerns than collecting the fine if a child feels the need to bring weapons to school. You do your job, I'll do mine.

But, I'm not complying. Ever.
 
Nothing along those lines in Indiana. Democrats and Republicans alike are pro-gun in Indiana politics. The mayor of Indianapolis, the former governor, and the new governor are very pro-2ndA. Our new democratic senator has even come out, in washington, against an AWB...but that's national.

The only pocket of pro gun control politicians are...here's a shock...in Gary which is a suburb of Chicago.

Thank god, we are safe in Indiana.
 
There is a large amount of pro gun legislation being put forth in the Arizona legislature right now. There's a few aunt again proposals but they are going nowhere fast. Arizona is a safe haven for gun rights.
