House Bill 1701 - No firearms in State Capitol
Unless, of course, you're a LEO.
Cruz, Kirkland and the other Philly (Antigun) Phanatics are at it again. Why are they so afraid of the people that they serve? Could it be because they keep trying to take the rights away of the law abiding citizen and give more of that cesspool called Philadelphia more welfare monies?
<sigh>
Call your representative tomorrow and state your STRONG opposition to this nonsense.

Re: House Bill 1701 - No firearms in State Capitol
Cruz needs to be removed from office permanently. Cruz is out of control, a mini Hitler in the making. All he seems to care about is keeping firearms from people. He needs to be replaced in the next election. Curious, is he a Philly rep?

Re: House Bill 1701 - No firearms in State Capitol
He is from Philly and a section that is a heavy crime area. It is also all most all Spanish. He has a strong need to get the public's mindset to blame the gun and not look closer to what is really wrong.

Re: House Bill 1701 - No firearms in State Capitol
This bill's got a snowball's chance in hell of passing, just like the rest of his bills.
If he keeps this up, he just might find himself evicted from office come next election.Any mission, any conditions, any foe at any range.
Twice the mayhem, triple the force.
Ten times the action, total hardcore.

Re: House Bill 1701 - No firearms in State Capitol
He's just trying to find any way possible to enact some kind of gun control, so that he doesn't have to go back to his constituency with his tail tucked between his legs.
I'd like to think he won't get re-elected, but I'm sure he will. He can just continue to cry to his constituency, "I tried, but the rest of the state doesn't care about YOU". By deflecting the real cause of the problem, he'll actually embolden his district to vote him back in to "keep up the fight".
It's always easier to blame an inanimate object (or someone else) for all of one's problems than to take responsibility. Why should a community take responsibility for itself when it can blame someone else and expect the government to play nanny?"Political Correctness is just tyranny with manners"

Rep Cruz is nothing more then a little dictator.... I only wish the sheeple in his district would see this or at least wake up and deal with the real problems.
I know it's a fantasy.

Re: House Bill 1701 - No firearms in State Capitol
I think that bill is reason enough why people SHOULD carry there.
Our ownership of firearms isn't for hunting, self-defense, or other recreational sports - its to keep tyrants in check.
