NWPA Sherriff's comment on storage for Act 79

[Sandcut]

Most lawmakers = relevance paradox.


Also, how is not being able to surrender, something with a possible high dollar value, to a family member not a takings? Where's the "just compensation"?

Cuzans.




That is all...

"Under Act 79, the sheriff’s departments are not simply responsible for storing the firearms seized, they are responsible for safeguarding the condition of the guns, as well."

No shit, Sherlock.

Sounds like the counties have to pony up the money for storage and the manpower to inventory and maintain the holdings. Sheriff firearm curator. Where do I apply?

I've known Sheriff Gottwald personally for over 25 years. He's a good guy, a firearms enthusiast, and has been an FFL for decades. He's vocalizing frustration with the new law that has taken away options once available to a sheriff for the firearms of those with PFAs. Sheriffs have sole responsibility for storing and curating such firearms, and no facility, budget, or manpower to do so. Previously, friends and other family of the PFA recipient were options; not so much now.

While I don't know Gottwald personally, I do know for a fact that he is absolutely pro-gun. And yes, he is voicing his frustrations with the conditions that Harrisburg has imposed without compensation to make it happen.

Neighboring sheriffs are much like Gottwald.

That was my take on his comments. It is impossible, but what to those bent on confiscation care? The reason that other storage or transfer options were written out is that those options would have diluted the "confiscatory" nature of the legislation, which was the whole point of passing it in the first place. The Democrats and the RINOs want government confiscation and nothing less will do.

This was bad enough, but the full blown "rat your neighbor out" or "show perceived disrespect to a policeman" Red Flag confiscation laws are going to be brutal in their applications and results. The legislative game is not about safety, it is about control and confiscation -- at all costs.
