4 bills up for vote tomorrow

[ACP45]

Wrote to my reps awhile back about this. Both are strong pro 2nd amendment.
Was surprised to actually get a call back yesterday from State senator Scott Hutchenson's office for his position and update.
They actually quoted Article 1, section 21, of the PA constitution.
Mentioned to them quite a few things that have been said in this thread.

That’s how you can tell the frauds from the Patriots.

And furthermore, they recognize that PA’s language is stronger and more direct than the US 2A. PA Article 1, Sec 21 was the model used to draft the 2A, but unfortunately they changed the verbiage. We would be MUCH more secure in our rights today had they simply copy/pasted directly from PA

House of Representatives
Session of 2023 - 2024 Regular Session
MEMORANDUM
Posted: June 8, 2023 03:09 PM
From: Representative Anthony A. Bellmon and Rep. Joanna E. McClinton
To: All House members
Subject: Conflict Resolution in Schools

No one should have to worry about losing their son, daughter, niece, nephew, or grandchild when they go outside to play or when they are walking home. It truly is every family*s worst nightmare, and it happens far too often in our society. Reducing violence, particularly gun violence, should be a multi-pronged effort and will be achieved through a collaborative effort from all of us including law enforcement, elected officials, community leaders and neighbors * including our young people. We may disagree on many policy areas, but we all want our children to be safe at school and when they are out in public areas.

In this vein, my legislation will require public schools to provide instruction on conflict resolution to all students. This instruction will include topics such as skills of conflict resolution; respect for different cultures, races, and beliefs; effectively managing emotions; and how to resolve differences peacefully. This instruction shall be age appropriate and be incorporated into an appropriate area of study. The Department of Education will compose a list of evidence-based model programs schools can use to provide this instruction to students.

We need everyone working together to confront the growing problem of violence, specifically gun-related violence, in our communities. By providing young people with the tools necessary to deal with conflict and resolve differences appropriately, hopefully we can help stem the tide of violence in Pennsylvania.

Or you could just rescind the Bible ban from public schools.

Or require parents to be parents and teachers to be role models instead of what is happening today.

Her legislation will not help with the reasons so-called gun violence have occurred, even though she eisegetically forced it into her monologue.

What the devil is gun reform?

Guns go to a reformatory to be reformed?
