(NRA ALERT) PA House Bill 2011

[Hodgie]

Just a heads up, got this from the NRA a few min ago.


Your NRA-ILA is pushing for a vote in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives on House Bill 2011, an important firearms preemption bill, before the summer legislative break. If HB 2011 comes up for a House floor vote, attempts will be made to amend it with anti-gun language to expand Pennsylvania’s background check requirement to ALL firearms purchases, including rifles and shotguns. Currently, only handgun purchases fall under this state requirement.

“Universal” background checks don’t work, and will never be truly universal because criminals, by definition, violate the law and obtain firearms illegally. Such an amendment would do nothing to address violent crime and would only impact law-abiding shooters and sportsmen. According to the U.S. Department of Justice, “universal” background checks will not work without implementing a gun owner registration system.

Your help is needed to ensure this anti-gun language is rejected and not adopted as part of HB 2011. It is critical that you contact your state Representative, and urge him or her to vote to pass HB 2011 as originally drafted, without the inclusion of any anti-gun amendments. Contact information for your state Representative can be found here.

It might have been a good idea if the NRA actually posted a link to or explained what HB 2011 proposed so that we would understand what it is we were supporting.

I am almost positive this is the bill that will require all firearm transactions regarding long guns to go through FFL's and back ground checks like pistols currently do.

No, this is the preemption bill that has 120 something anti amendments attached.

The bill IS a preemption bill but some of those 120 amendments are to expand background checks to long guns. What we don't want or need. NO AMENDMENTS.

Those amendments are everything the anti groups could ever want plus more from background checks to no possession of any semi auto guns with no grandfathering. They would have you turn them all in. And they continue to say they don't want our guns...

Good luck with that.

I thought everyone had to have a NICS check for any firearm bought in a store? Correct me if i'm wrong!
