I'm hoping an AR company and a company that makes silencers will fire up a factory here. Short barrel ARs with silencers for everyone!

I talked with Rep Rohrer staffer in harrisburg, the asking for co sponsorship memo went on June 11, 09.

As of June 30 the proposed legislation has 28 co sponsors, and second memo asking for co sponsorship will be going out in a day or so.

So now is the time to ask your Rep to co sponsor this legislation.

Note the prime sponsor Rep Roher will probably be submitting this bill around two weeks from now to the printer and be acted upon.

It will then be assigned a bill number HB .

So the goal is to get as many co sponsor before it goes to the printer

Great! Last bit I heard was that he was "strategizing" on the idea back in early May. Great news indeed.
