Bill to Ban Direct Internet Sale of Ammo to PA

[esh21167]

Do we have a thread on this yet? Don't recall seeing anything.

Pennsylvania House Bill 2344 was referred to the chamber’s Judiciary Committee last week with a dozen sponsors. Filed by state Rep. Tom Murt, R-Montgomery, it would wrap the ammo buying process in layers of Harrisburg red tape.

In its current format, the 25-page bill would mandate those who want to pick up some bullets first obtain a proposed Ammunition Purchase Authorization Permit, a four-year $50 ammo permission slip controlled by state police. Permits, which could take 30 days to process, would be tracked, their information retained in a central database, and subject to revocation.

When it comes to the act of buying ammunition, with a $3 surcharge payable to the state, ammo could only be purchased online if it is delivered to a licensed importer, manufacturer or dealer to process a subsequent face-to-face transfer. This would end the common practice among Pennsylvanians of ordering from e-commerce ammo retailers such as Guns.com and having it conveniently delivered to their home.

Don't what that's about because my ammo order from last Friday is scheduled to be delivered on Wednesday. No questions asked. You're talking Pa?

It's just a bill that was submitted. But with Rob Kauffman as chair, it will likely never get out of committee. Still wouldn't hurt to send him a message. http://www.repkauffman.com/contact

Yes, email Kauffman in addition to your rep. Kauffman is solidly pro-gun and is on our side so be polite

Pa Republican party needs to drop any and all support for Rep. Tom Murt, R-Montgomery.

I get requests from the PA Republican Party for donations. I am holding off for the time being. Will support individual candidates but am reluctant to send money to the State machine, and RINOs like Murt and RINO Senator Lisa Baker from Wayne County is another. The GOP has to get its house in order. We have stalwarts like Rob Kauffman, but we have plenty of Murts and Bakers too.

Wolf has been relentless in his attacks on the Second Amendment. He has abused his power as Governor to support local governments in criminal violations of the preemption statutes. He colluded in and unseemly way with the PA State Police in banning the 80% lowers, bypassing the legislative process and revealing the State Police to be a partisan tool of the Democrat Party. I have no faith in the State Police to enforce any law fairly and that they allowed themselves to be so used shows a dangerous lack of political independence and integrity. Of course, we had the gun shop ban, just reversed. It took private citizens to challenge that lawlessness -- the politicians just seem to sit back and let it all happen. The Democrats and Wolf are not restrained by the law.

Our rights never been as near to loss as they are now, and having the GOP support Republicans that join Democrats in attacking those rights is not a winning argument for anyone seeking a contribution from me.
