EMERGENCY!! HB2060 & HB2227 votes this week

[Tootie]

During the week of Sept. 24th the PA House will be voting on 2 very important Bills, HB2060 & HB2227.

HB2060, sponsored by Rep. Marguerite Quinn (R-Bucks Co.) will close so called "Loopholes" forcing anyone accused (guilty or not) of domestic abuse to relinquish their firearms within 24 hours of the issuance of a PFA and may only be turned over to an FFL, an Attorney or the Sheriff (or Police Dept). The burden of proof of innocence lies on the shoulders of the accused. This Bill also strips the Judiciaries ability to determine if the subject can keep their firearms. We all know that this will put an undue burden on the accused with legal fees (if they are lucky) or complete loss of the property without compensation (guilty or not).

HB2060

HB2227, sponsored by Rep. Todd Stephens (R-Montgomery Co.) is the Extreme Risk Order, more correctly known as the Gun Confiscation Order, bill that will allow almost anyone to say that you are a threat to yourself or others with no actual proof of a threat. Although this Bill gives the aggrieved the chance for a hearing 10 days later, AFTER the firearms were seized from them, it will be at their own expense to try to recover their property. Something most of us cannot afford to do. They will also be granted unlimited extensions to keep your firearms from you.

HB2227

These two Bills are being forced through and being stripped of all Amendments to get them to pass as quickly as possible. The anti-gun lobby is pushing so hard they are only hearing their voices and not ours. We have word from Harrisburg that the likelihood of these bills passing is EXTREMELY HIGH.

We ask that you contact all Legislators (both House and Senate) on these two matters and tell them they are wrong and to NOT support them. People should not be presumed guilty before they are allowed to defend themselves from allegations. We are seeing what happens when we allow them to go unscathed with the way they are trying to destroy Judge Kavanaugh. We must not allow them to turn PA into a 'guilty to proven innocent' State.

Done will also be calling as well but I'm in Lancaster County so I know my reps are already against this but never hurts to remind them we are watching.

People will be gathering in Harrisburg starting around 10am on Monday, same on Tuesday. They go into session at 1 p.m. on Monday and at 11 a.m. on Tuesday.

While contacting your own reps, be sure to also give Mike Turzai an earful.

Tootie, I may have some time on Tuesday to go to Harrisburg - can I do any good by going?

[j_h_smith]

Fight now folks. I'd hate to see PA turn into North Maryland.

A former friend of mine is a diehard communist anti who feels that I should not own guns because I believe in self defense and voted for Trump. I fear my rights will be gone the moment the ink dries.

If this passes, welcome officially to being a political prisoner for failing to have the state sponsored mindset.

FOAC is prepared to pull the endorsement of any candidate that votes in favor of these two bills. They need to know we're serious about this! Anyone that can possibly show up tomorrow needs to it is that important! You all were warned when Toomey won his reelection bid that it would be okay for Republicans to vote in favor of anti-gun bills and now we are seeing the results. Gun owners need to speak up and show up or we are in deep s*** in this state

Rep. Marguerite Quinn (R-Bucks Co.) and Rep. Todd Stephens (R-Montgomery Co.) both allegedly sexually harassed and assaulted someone I know who wishes to remain anonymous.


I demand they be impeached!

I just finished a two week vacation. Today was my first day back to work.
I'm trying to determine how to get tomorrow off without getting fired.

Of course you can do good. Mom's demand will have people there both days, so anyone showing up to stand against them is always a good thing.

Kim Stolfer from FOAC will be there both days. Find him and he will point you in the right direction.

I am halfway through contacting ever single Republican, my district or not. I live in PA and every one of their votes affect me.
