Why is PA different from NJ, MD, NY?
I was pondering this today.
What has kept PA from implementing gun control the way NY, MD, NJ, and other states around us have?
I think the answer is obvious but maybe not.
Is it simply that we have a more favorable ratio of gun owning folks to anti-gun folks? Or is it something more nuanced?
Is it our state constitution? Our large population of hunters? The Liberty Bell? Amish made furniture?
I know there are rural areas full of gun owners in all those states with excessive gun control. Poor bastards.
So what has kept PA a decent state for a firearm enthusiast to live in over the years while other states have slipped into a never ending steaming pile of gun control?In America arms are free merchandise such that anyone who has the capital may make their houses into armories and their gardens into parks of artillery. - Ira Allen, 1796

Re: Why is PA different from NJ, MD, NY?
Probably have enough of a population to, at times, counter the shithole cities. New York has a population of around 19million. Eight million of those people live in NYC. Maryland has DC turds and Baltimore. I don't know about NJ. All I could find is a state trooper was shot in 1966, and a feel-good anti-gun bill was passed in response. Seems it's only gone downhill since.

Correct on all accounts.
That old saying about how PA is Philly on one side, Pittsburgh on the other side, and Alabama in the middle.
Is what has mostly been saving PA; so far.
NYC's population out numbers the rest of NY state.
NYC's libtard mentality is not only from your basic anti-gun city dwellers.
It's also that most of the population is immigrants from socialist countries; bringing their socialistic, anti-gun mentality with them.
And NJ is mostly just extensions, suburbs, of NYC and Philly.
AND most of those NJ suburbs of NYC and Philly are mostly populated by NYC and Philly transplants.
Who are perhaps 99.9999% anti-gun libtards.--ET

PA has the largest rural population of any state.
Nvm- I heard that recently but looking more Texas and NC eclipses us for total # of rural dwellers.

Re: Why is PA different from NJ, MD, NY?
I would posit that it is because we had a pretty good gun law, the UFA, passed back in the 30s which allowed for concealed carry and provided state preemption.
We don't have stupid restrictions on carry like "no churches" or "no concerts" like other states because the basic carry law is so old.

Re: Why is PA different from NJ, MD, NY?
The problem is the "Alabama in the middle" is shrinking big time. Chester County used to be SOLID Red. Now it is Blue, lost just about every race in the last couple elections. Commissioners, Sheriff, local reps, frigging dogcatcher. And it is because the Philly and Delco idiots are moving out to the rural burbs because the Democrats screwed up their towns. Those morons vote the same way out here.
