Statkowski makes excellent points, your story is a great one to use in person when talking with legislators.

“You do not examine legislation in the light of the benefits it will convey if properly administered, but in the light of the wrongs it would do and the harms it would cause if improperly administered”. -- Lyndon B. Johnson

Also why don't you add a few gems of inconvenient truths in your letter, from this link.

here is a specfic article addressing Theft of Firearms-Sentence Enhancement Legislation

From the documentation you will see how often they don't prosecute straw purchaser or the charge is simple plea bargained away.

Which is the real crime, outside of the legislators control.

Also plenty of other legislation in harrisburg posted on this link to make your mad or help make some of your points that we don't have a gun control problem, we have a criminal control problem in PA.

Also I was told stupid as this is, the same lost and stolen (HB 29 reworked) amendment that lost twice in the house judiciary committee and in a full house vote was going to be attached in the senate again on HB 1845, some people are just incorrigible and never accept NO.
