Bob Casey Drags Gun Control into Coronavirus with Silly Remark.

[Wilderness 1864]

Another silly comment from an unserious man. Bottom line is that Democrats are going to start using the virus to push their gun control agenda. They don't need to be logically related, they only have to exploit fears and used dictatorial emergency powers.

In Champaign, Ill, the Mayor there is using an executive order to ban sales of guns and ammo. Sure that is ILL not PA. But how long do you think it will be before Peduto, or Kenney or any number of the leftist Mayors in PA or even Wolf, with Shapiro and their partisan State Police in tow, try to do it here? They have already proven that they believe themselves not bound by any law.
