Representative _______,
I am writing you in regards to Senate Bill No. 738. As a lawful firearms owner and collector I am glad that a bill has arisen that will address the concerns of many firearms owners. As you may know the Pennsylvania State Police have been maintaining a firearms registry in violation of Title 18 §6111.4. The intrusion of privacy this database provides is shocking. The PSP has continued to require a separate form be filled out when purchases a handgun. This sales record was intended to be used to assure that the purchaser is legally permitted to owning a firearm. Unfortunately these records have continued to be saved for an indefinite period of time. I am glad to see that a bill has been introduced to counter this intrusion of my privacy. I am also sad to see that the PSP will ignore the law and that another bill must be introduced to clarify what the PSP can and cannot do, but unfortunately this is the case. Thank you for your time.
