PA Assault Rifle Ban (and more!!!)

[RoyJackson]

Well, The Democrats didn't wait too long. The Assault Rifle ban was submitted to the Judiciary Committee on 30 Jan.

Although it does grandfather previously owned rifles, this bill requires any owner to submit to a back ground check (even though you may have had one when you first bought the rifle) and registration...with annual renewals (which may require fees) with the state cops

I printed the bill to a .pdf file, but it's too big to upload. You can view the bills on the link to The High Road. Just follow down the thread. You'll see the links...once you open the link, click on the "Printer No...."

Those are the two main interesting ones I found. It also looks like they are trying to ununiform the state gun laws making cities have their own laws.

You realize those have to be registered in both vehicle and action figure formations right? Don't even get me started about when you combine them, the paperwork for that is just.....
