gun violence hearings: who is sponsoring?

[jack76590]

Are the so called "gun violence hearings" being sponsored by the House or the Senate or both?

Does anyone know the costs and if there are any rules of procedure to govern the hearings?

Thanks.

I believe these hearings were concocted and sponsored by PA House Rep. Thomas Caltagirone (D-Berks).

Not sure about costs or procedures.

I attended the Pittsburgh hearing; there was no cost to attend, and no procedure other than showing up at the right place at the right time. But if you want to speak, I think you have to call in advance. The NRA website has info posted.

I have to wonder if the background of any of the speaker are recorded and checked.

Are their fact, data checked? Is data even submitted?

Is a transcript made?

I am sure they will use the hearings to promote H760 and other gun control measures. Yet the accuracy of the statements made, who made them and even exactly what was said will not be subject to verification. I really have concerns about this being used as the basis for legislation.

Sounds more like the old Roman mob at the coliseum than anything else.

Wonder how much this is costing Pa that is already in fiscal hard times?

The hearings were sponsored by the Pennsylvania House of Representatives Judiciary Committee. Regretably the last was held on the 20th of April and the 27th of April is to be the final policy hearing.

In response to the so called "gun violence hearings" maybe someone should have "negro violence hearings".

Get it.

I doubt this statement will be understood.
