I gathered this list using the Firearm Owners Against Crime (
https://foac-pac.org ) and the PA General Assembly (
https://www.legis.state.pa.us/ ) websites. The summaries are my simplified explanations and any mistakes are mine. The FOAC website includes other legislation that gun owners may be interested in- I tried to limit myself to firearms-specific legislation. I highly recommend you check out the FOAC website, and more importantly, become a member. Also, you may want to sign up for PA General Assembly updates at
https://www.legis.state.pa.us/login/ There you can filter the updates that concern you.
The list is lengthy, but understand that, fortunately, most bills go to committees to die. We all know, however, that the main anti-gun action is now at the State level, so we must remain vigilant.
