Pennsylvania people, this is follow up to the action alert we sent out Friday concerning the judiciary committee meeting happening Tuesday in Harrisburg.
There have been some new circumstances added to the mix as two amendments are also going to be voted on regarding HB2463, those amendments are:
A07403, clarifies that persons presently prohibited from possessing a firearm due to a previous involuntary mental health commitment will have to seek a restoration of firearm rights through the new petition process.
A07614, provides that an emergency involuntary mental health commitment will result in a six-month firearm prohibitor that automatically expires at the end of that period.
While not all these bills are anti-gun some are outrageously anti-gun:
Again these are the bills being considered Tuesday:
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

PLEASE take the time Monday to light up these legislator's phone in Harrisburg and tell them to vote NO on HB1400, HB1872, HB2227 and HB2060 and to vote NO on the two amendments to HB2463, especially target Ron Marsico's office as he is the traitor 'republican' allowing these votes while ignoring all the the pro-gun bills under consideration.
Also ask them to vote YES HB2463 WITHOUT any amendments
