Re: Governor Rendell Pleads For Gun Control Measures at Pennsylvania Press Club Lunch
Thanks Billamj, I added it to my favorite places. Here is what I sent:
I am discouraged to hear your veiwpoint at a recent luncheon regarding a one gun a month law. Although I havn't been able to confirm this recent statement, it is on the order of what you've said in the past. Personally I think it's ridiculous to think a one gun a month law in any way would curb gun violence. Maryland enacted a similar law and Maryland determined it didn't statistically do anything to deter gun violence. I think your and the legislators time and efforts would be better spent on determining a solution and not just a bandaid law. I understand you may be under pressure from lobby groups, however recent gun controll bills such as HB760 has remnants of 1930's Germany all over it. I contacted the sponsors of that bill to make them aware of that.
I would like to leave this on a good note, Last year you were at Pitcarin Monroeville Sportsman Club, near Pittsburgh and signed the Youth Mentoring bill into law and I commend you for that. It was a long time comming and I'd like to thank you for continued efforts for making Pennsylvania a great place to live.
