ACTION ALERT!! - HB 2011 (Now HB 80) Pre-Emption! We need all hands on deck today!

[LBaker]

Has anyone noticed that there was an error in the House on HB80 and it had to be signed in the House today? Does it now have to be signed in the Senate and approved again by the Governor? This will probably affect the effective date of the preemption standing.

Hmmmm, they would fuck up a wet dream... It's being investigated. Thanks!

They sent the wrong printers number to the Governor.

The Senate just signed HB80, so now it goes to the Governor for his signature within the next 10 days.

I just heard that Kane said she will not defend this law. Does the Attorney General get to pick and choose which laws she will enforce and defend? How did this b.. er person get elected?

The same way Tom Wolf got elected
She's a Marxist, like Obama like Holder " I got a pen and a phone"
the republican legislation in PA better have more testicular fortitude than John Boehner and push against her and gov elect Tom Coyote

There are a few good legislators, but nowhere near enough. It is up to us, you and me, to make the 2A community's voice heard.

Gun owners must get involved. Join one of the two statewide organizations (FOAC or PA4SP or both) and follow their lead. Through them, become an activist. Get political.

Pennsylvania Attorney General Won’t Defend Pro-Gun Law

Pennsylvania Attorney General Kathleen Kane said Friday she would not defend the state’s recently passed preemption law from various cities and towns that are challenging it in court.

A spokesperson from her camp told Philly.com that Kane “determined it would be more efficient and in the best interest of the Commonwealth for the (governor’s) Office of General Counsel to handle this matter.”

State pro-gun preemption laws are important. What do they do? They keep cities and towns from enacting tougher gun laws than the state standard. How do they work? If a municipality tries to regulate or restrict the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens a gun owner or gun rights group can sue the city or town for violating the preemption law. Assuming the gun owner or gun rights group wins in court, the city or town would then be on the hook for the expenses incurred by the gun owner and gun rights group. In short, it’s a great way to keep state gun laws uniform and gun-grabbing city and town politicians in check.

The preemption law also works retroactively. Meaning, it doesn’t only pertain to new ordinances, but for those existing regulations that are more stringent than the state standard. As it relates to Pennsylvania, Pittsburgh, Lancaster, Harrisburg, York and Philadelphia all have measures in place that are more restrictive than what the state Legislature has approved, making them subject to lawsuits.

Naturally, its those cities and towns that are leading the charge to have the new preemption law repealed.

“We sued the governor, the speaker of the house…we’ve sued the state already concerning that,” Lancaster City Mayor Rick Gray told ABC 27.

But since Kane is not willing to fight the good fight, Gov. Tom Corbett’s administration will have to take up the reins.

“Since the Attorney General has refused to do so, OGC will fulfill its constitutional duty, unlike that of the attorney general and defend the Commonwealth,” Gov. Corbett’s Spokesman Jay Pagni told Philly.com.

“The people of Pennsylvania have elected Kathleen Kane to defend the Commonwealth and executive agencies,” continued Pagni. “This is now twice she has refused to do so and defend the people that put her into office.”

In the past, Kane also decided not to defend a law defining marriage as between a man and a woman.

Yet with Gov. Corbett leaving office soon and with the new regime of Democratic Governor-Elect Tom Wolf in sheep's clothing taking over the fate of the preemption law is uncertain as Wolf has said on record that he does not support it.

If nothing changes between now and Jan. 7, 2015, the preemption law will take effect.
