Exactly, I'm sure all of the corner boys will get their training and licenses.

....and God forbid we actually incarcerate violent offenders.

Keep an eye on this shit. this is more ridiculous that the CA law that we have.

How set is PA with keeping these sort of bills from getting to Wolf?

Folks who never graduated high school, hate to read, don't own a book and just want a gun around for "protection" - too bad for them. If they're non-white, well, that's not Rep Tonyelle Cook-Artis's problem is it?

Greetings,

What I found to be particularly appalling was in her introduction to the bill. In an outright affront to all PA citizens AND to the PA Constitution, Ms Cook-Artis had the audacity to demean an absolute right by equating it to a privilege:

She stated:

"The goal of my legislation is not to unduly burden responsible gun owners. The goal is to put in place the same kind of licensing procedure required to operate a motor vehicle."

Should an elected official, a member of the PA House of Representatives (who uses the title "Honorable") understand that 'minor' difference? Please take a moment on the phone to assist in educating her of that small difference:

Philadelphia (215) 242-7300
Harrisburg (717) 783-2178

Regards, Jim
