Pennsylvania: Tell Your Senator to Oppose Semi-Auto Ban

Senator Wayne Fontana started circulating a co-sponsorship memorandum soliciting members of the Senate to support a proposal to ban commonly owned semi-automatic firearms and standard capacity magazines in Pennsylvania.

This legislation attempts to brand many common semi-automatic firearms as “assault weapons” to drum up unnecessary fear of their ownership. In reality, these firearms are only being defined by aesthetic features that in no way affect the functionality of the rifle. Semi-automatic firearms only fire one shot per action of the trigger, and such technology, along with standard capacity ammunition magazines, have been available to American consumers for over a century. Semi-automatic rifles and standard capacity magazines are commonly owned by law-abiding citizens for various purposes such as self-defense, recreation, competition, and hunting.

The congressionally-mandated study on the federal “assault weapon ban” of 1994-2004 found that the ban had little, if any, impact on crime, in part because “the banned guns were never used in more than a modest fraction” of firearm related crime.

Please contact your state Senator and urge them to OPPOSE this misguided legislation!

Done. Letter sent to Senator Lisa Baker.

If for whatever reason this ban does pass... what does that mean for us? No new purchases of "assault rifles" and standard capacity magazines I'm sure... but what about all the stuff we already own? Grandfathered?

I have and will continue to contact our politicians, and I will remind you, in the words of one of our greatest civil rights proponents:

Done, that was easy, thank you for the link. Rafferty is my rep and I'll see if I can't stop by his office in person and express my concerns. He doesn't even have an office in my county.
