House Committee Schedules Statewide Hearings on “Gun Violence” in Pennsylvania! Friday, March 16, 2007

The House Judiciary Committee, Chaired by Tom Caltagirone (Berks -D) has scheduled statewide hearings on gun-related crime. This is an opportunity for Pennsylvania’s law-abiding gun owners to express their concerns regarding the many recent anti-gun proposals introduced in the House of Representatives, that include "one-gun-a-month" schemes and semi-automatic firearm bans. It is critical that law-abiding gun owners attend these hearings. If you are unable to attend, please call your State Representative and urge him or her to stand-up for your Right to Keep and Bear Arms. The following is a preliminary list of cities and dates.
