Only tyrants limit firearms and want an avenue to confiscate....do not comply with tyrants.

The communists are in fact questioning my right to keep and bear arms. Keep those mail in ballots coming.

So if you bought a gun in the previous 12 months that's grounds for having it confiscated by the government? That's pretty fucking egregious.

Yeah, I saw that and was like "wtf?!"

I keep telling the Mrs. not to open the door for any strangers but I don't think she gets it.

When does this happen? Then what's the next steps? Are there any rational Democrats that won't vote for this crap?

I doubt it. I will assume that the Speaker will bully any reps who won't vote with the party.

Sadly, Pennsylvania a half a branch of government away from being like Virginia a few years back. I don't know if those Democrat majority laws were ever repealed in Virginia, but I will assume that won't happen in Pennsylvania given how difficult it is to get a Republican governor, if the Democrats ever get both houses.

Hmm....
It appears that #6 can be open carry, and #8 looks like anything goes. 12 months is a long time to be taken out of context.
