Pa House bills would prevent the Amish from buying guns.

I've been to a number of auctions and flea markets where guns and ammo were sold. I saw quite a few Amish and Mennonite buying guns and ammo. Mostly old, utilitarian hunting arms. I was surprised how much they paid for ammo... in some cases more than it costs new in a store.

Not uncommon, really. Auctions, folks get a bit of a rush and get carried away to win...seen it plenty of times.

Flea markets...people assume it's a bargain or aren't aware of current price.

On the flip side, I've managed several very good buys at garage and yard sales. Heck, my FIL picked up a decent Garand at a yard sale for $50 several years ago.

They've been an isolated breeding community for long enough they should qualify as their own ethnicity at least

and those aren't even PA amish, tisk tisk.

Like streaker said the hats, also the blue jeans and the shirts.

I'm guessing you have never been to a gun show outside of the city.

Ohio Amish drink beer too, they're cool... and they’re also allowed to fornicate on Sundays.

I have zero doubt this law would very quickly lead to a lawsuit. I believe there was already a lawsuit filed by an Amish man over the unconstitutional photo ID requirement.
