Your hotlink is busted.
Link to Bill This Bill looks like a good first step for removing the restrictions in PA. |

Please let this pass. Would be better if it included big game, but a small step is better than none I suppose. No semi law and handgun registry need to go.

What kind of pushing is necessary to ensure this passes? Who needs to be pushed? Who has been the obstacle in the past that we need to make sure gets out of the way?

Contact your local house representative and senator. Bill needs to get passed on the house floor where it will then go to senate for a hearing. After it passes the senate, it will go to the governor for his signature. |

I found it very ironic that the house bill is 2230
Especially since it allows up to .223. |

I came to Alaska from Crawford Co twenty years back, hauled all my guns up through Canada and they didn't even open my trailer door, wouldn't try that today I guess, but not heading back south either. Up here, we hunt everything with ARs, I don't even drag the 556s out of the gun vault anymore. Have 6.8s, 338 fed, and 308s. Luv hunting off snowmachine with two points. I wouldn't last 2 hrs in Pa, last time back was in 97, no plans in the future. You all should get out to better places while ya still can. No joke, it ain't normal back in Pa. Taxes, control, freedom is all fouled up back there. There are much better places to call home, no joke, I ain't kidding either. I'll try to post some AR hunting picts. |

The house is back in session. Balancing the budget is first priority. Here's an update from Rep. Lucas's office about how newly proposed bills progress :
"Once they come out of committee they will put them on the calendar. They are supposed to be pulled this month, not sure if that will be this week or not. They have an intense schedule this month. The farther we get into June, if they are not pulled from committee it gets less likely that they will get any attention. If that happens, nothing will happen with them until September." Please contact your state representative to support this bill. JB |

Registration is illegal under PA state law. Under PA CSA Title 18 section 6111.4 ( Link ) it is illegal for anyone to keep a registry of firearms in this state. A database on the other hand is perfectly legal.....

I attended the Game and Fish committee meeting this Tuesday and can readily identify the problem: it moves WAY TOO SLOW because they meet for a SINGLE STINKING HOUR THREE TIMES A YEAR at most! Worse, they only spoke on a single bill this time. I had a presentation ready to deliver but clearly they're single subject only at a time, and only ONE report was delivered.. It's great that they're nice, apparently fairly smart, and by being slow it has stalled any bad bills that could have otherwise come through, but holy crap it's hard to get any kind of business done. It's bad enough that the only way people can even see things firsthand is to take time out during the workday, drive to Harrisburg, etc. but to not even have time for any active citizen to participate is...troubling. Again, good that it keeps the Bloomberg shills out too but damn it keeps us out too.

Just sent the following email:
Good afternoon Rep. Turzai, I would like to ask you to help get HB2230 out of committee for a vote by the House so that it can be put into effect in this legislative session. This bill is highly beneficial to individual Pennsylvanians both from the consumer side as well as the business side, as numerous businesses here in the state would benefit greatly from increased sales if it is enacted. There is no cost or downside, purely a removal of an artificial and pointless impediment to the market that currently benefits no one. Please act on this immediately. Sincerely, |

Here's an email to a local house rep and reply:
Dear Mr. W: Thank you for your email and for bringing this issue to my attention. I will keep your comments in mind as this bill comes before us for a vote. It was voted out of committee, which can be a big hurdle. Since it’s in Rules, I assume we’ll see this bill soon. Best regards, State Representative Marcy Toepel 147th Legislative District 80 Gravel Pike, Unit A Red Hill, PA 18076 (215)-679-3082 reptoepel.com Sent: Wednesday, July 30, 2014 1:22 PM To: Marcy Toepel Subject: House Bill 2230 Dear Representative Toepel, Good afternoon. If I could just take a quick moment of your time ? I would ask for your support in moving HB 2230 forward for a vote on the floor. I’m sure you’re already aware of its importance so, I won’t take more of your time with that. As a proud Pennsylvanian and District 147 resident, I’d also like to thank you for your service. Sincerely, James W |

Emailed my rep. His response was the following:
"Hi ****, don't worry I am a cosponsor to that bill and also, my bill 2333 would authorize hunting with semi auto for everything. We are only one of two states that does not authorize it. All the best, Rick Saccone" Seems like we need to support HB 2333 as well. HB 2333 |

Good afternoon Rep. Doyle Heffley,
I would like to ask you to help get HB2230 out of committee for a vote by the House so that it can be put into effect in this legislative session. This bill is highly beneficial to individual Pennsylvanians both from the consumer side as well as the business side, as numerous businesses here in the state would benefit greatly from increased sales if it is enacted. There is no cost or downside, purely a removal of an artificial and pointless impediment to the market that currently benefits no one. Please act on this immediately. Sincerely, I just sent out a email to my local Rep. as well. I would love to see semi-auto rifles allowed for hunting in Pennsylvania. |
