    Default Rep Jamie Santora proposes universal background checks (HB 1400)

    Rep. Jamie Santora (R - 163rd district) has submitted a bill making background checks universal in Pennsylvania...

    http://www.legis.state.pa.us/cfdocs/...type=B&bn=1400

    The co-sponsors are:

    SANTORA, D. COSTA, DEAN, WARREN, MICCARELLI, GAINEY, FRANKEL, NEILSON, SCHLOSSBERG, CHARLTON, SIMS, STURLA, DONATUCCI, RABB, SOLOMON, PASHINSKI, KRUEGER-BRANEKY, DAWKINS, THOMAS, BULLOCK, BOYLE, DAVIS, KINSEY, O'BRIEN, W. KELLER, COMITTA, DRISCOLL, DALEY, VITALI, McCLINTON, McCARTER, WHEATLEY, RAVENSTAHL, DEASY, YOUNGBLOOD, SCHWEYER, FREEMAN, C. QUINN, KIRKLAND, BRIGGS, MADDEN, HARKINS, TAYLOR, CRUZ, HILL-EVANS, CALTAGIRONE, ROEBUCK, BRADFORD, J. HARRIS, GALLOWAY, McNEILL, LEWIS, SAMUELSON, CARROLL, KAMPF, KIM and FITZGERALD

    This is a bad bill and needs to be stopped.. We already know the State Police ignore the law and maintain an illegal (albeit only partial) registry of guns.. This law will only strengthen that illegal registry.

    Call your reps to oppose this bill..

    Here's his co-sponsorship memo:

    "MEMORANDUM

    January 6, 2017 02:35 PM

    From:
    Representative James R. Santora and Rep. Dom Costa, Rep. Madeleine Dean

    To:
    All House members

    Subject:
    Background Checks for Firearms for Gun Shows



    In the near future, we plan to introduce legislation that would include language from HB 1010 of last session (eliminating all but the familiar transfer exception to the requirement of a background check prior to the purchase or transfer of a firearm) and a new provision to permit the issuance of a single background check approval that would remain valid for multiple days for use at gun shows across the Commonwealth.

    Currently, the Crimes Code requires firearm sales be conducted in front of a licensed importer, manufacturer, dealer, or county sheriff. However, this provision is only applicable to short-barreled firearms. My legislation would remove this applicability provision and require all firearm sales, regardless of the barrel length, be conducted in front of a licensed importer, manufacturer, dealer, or county sheriff. Ultimately, this legislation would require background checks be conducted for each firearm purchase, which will ensure that individuals attempting to obtain a firearm are authorized to possess such weapons. Familial transfers will still be excluded from the background check requirement as in current law.

    Additionally, this bill would include language that allows a person to obtain a multiple day background check approval to be used at a licensed gun show within the Commonwealth. With such an approval, a consumer could shop during that multiple day period without having to pay for multiple background checks should he or she decide to make more than one purchase.

    Please join us in protecting the residents of this Commonwealth by closing the loopholes that have permitted unauthorized individuals access to firearms, while making it easier for law abiding citizens to purchase firearms at gun shows. "

    1. Invert
    2. Insert
    3. Withdraw
    4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 until you are convinced to stop this foolishness.
    5. Repeat steps 2 and 3 until you are convinced to never bring up this kind of foolishness again.
    6. Repeat steps 2 and 3 until *I* am convinced you have completed step 5. Note: this could take weeks.
    7. Repeat step 2 just because you brought up this foolishness in the first place.

    Santora has been a big disappointment. Turns out he is just another Philadelphia Democrat. "If I can save just one life my job is done." Well try something that will work. How about seat belts on school buses?

    What if this is a new tactic of theirs,present themselves as Republicans and when they are in position,push Democrat agendas.
    There are no pacts between lions and men.

    Yep. Delaware County is represented by a ton of anti gun Republicans. Representatives Nick Miccarelli, Alex Charlton, and Chris Quinn co sponsored this bill. State Senators Killion and McGarrigle are no friends of gun owners either. And then there is Meehan and Toomey at the federal level.
