Pennsylvania people, this is a EXTREMELY important action alert! Please call, email or post on Facebook for all of your freedom loving friends to share this and get involved!
Next Tuesday, June 19th there will be a house judiciary voting meeting (which means they decide whether or not to move bills to the house floor) on the following bills.
While not all these bills are anti-gun some are outrageously anti-gun:
HB1400 - this bill is a 'universal background check' bill that would require background checks on all firearm sales, it should be noted that this bill has 15 Republican co-sponsors which make it extremely dangerous
HB1872 - this bill would ban the sale of any device that accelerates the rate of fire of any firearm, notice that says ANY device, not just bump fire stocks
HB2060 - this bill would expand the surrender of firearms involving PFA's.
HB2227 - this bill would create extreme risk protection orders that would require the surrender of firearms WITHOUT due process
Only one bill (while many other pro-gun bills are being ignored by the committee) is what we would call pro-gun:
HB2463 - This bill would protect the rights of gun owners that have been subject to a mental health 302 order
And these bills are questionable at best and have the best chances of having anti-gun language added to them on the house floor:
HB2266 - This bill would change the notification requirement for the Pennsylvania State police to be made aware of a mental health disqualification from seven days to 72 hours
HB2267 - This bill changes mental health notifications to the state police from 7 days (current law) to 72 hours.
HB2275 - This bill would add criminal solicitation to the list of firearm prohibiting offenses.
HB273 - this bill would create a self-exclusion list for firearm sales that would be maintained by state police
We would ask all of you to spend the weekend, and even more importantly Monday flooding Harrisburg with phone calls, emails and faxes telling these legislators (and your legislators too) that only voting on anti-gun bills in the committee is unacceptable! If any of the following legislators is one of yours please contact them immediately and tell the to vote NO on HB1400, HB1872, HB2060, HB2227, HB2266 & HB2267 and vote YES on HB2463.
The legislators on this committee are: Ryan Bizzarro (D), Timothy Briggs (D), Becky Corbin (R), Dom Costa (D), Tina Davis (D), Jason Dawkins (D), Madeleine Dean (D), Sheryl Delozier (R), Harold English (R), Garth Everett (R), Barry Jozwiak (R), Kate Klunk (R), Jerome Knowles (R), Ronald Marsico (R) - Majority Chair, Joanna McClinton (D), Daniel Miller (D), Gerald Mullery (D), Tedd Nesbit (R), Brandon Neuman (D), Joseph Petrarca (D) - Minority Chair, Jeffrey Pyle (R), Richard Saccone (R), Paul Schemel (R), Todd Stephens (R), Tarah Toohil (R), Jesse Topper (R), Martina White (R)
The ONLY reason these bills are getting a vote is thanks to the spineless 'lame duck' majority leader Ron Marsico (R) that has decided since this is his last term he is going to pander to Moms Demand and Ceasefire PA, these legislators need to know we are watching and we will not tolerate this kind of behavior!
We will be in Harrisburg for these votes Tuesday and would also ask anyone who can be there to show your support. The meeting starts a 9 am in room 140 of the main capitol building.
