This is not good, PA is usually a gun-friendly state!

That is not a good thing! Every PA citizen MUST write your Senators! If it passes there, it'll be just a matter of time before another state chimes in on this evil running across our counrty.

Thanks for the info. I will be calling and I have passed the info to everyone I can think of to have them do the same. If that passed, I wonder how that would affect the title 2 stuff? Dan

Frank,

That bill is a NIGHTMARE!!!! Is this just another anti-gun stab or does this idiot have support in the legislature? I don't live in PA, but will try to think of other friends that do and warn them. If something like this passes, the upcoming NRA show in Pittsburgh will be the last time the NRA is welcome in PA.

That bill is f@#&ing bullsh@t!!! If that piece of filth passes, I just may have to boycott Pennsylvania. In fact, I urge all of the board members to write letters to the politicians of PA, stating just that! Why hunt, fish, shop in, or travel to PA, when there are so many more gun-friendly states!!!! Regards, Walter

My senator's house is with walking distance of my house and my dad is friends with him. I might try to pay a visit to show him what the youth thinks of that bill.

Edit: How long do I got until this bill is voted on?

Allen G. Kukovich,   I am Robert Regis Dornin, a 16 year old sophomore in Penn Trafford High School.  My future plans are a little uncertain, but I believe that I want to join the United States Marine Corps.  That is all beside the point; I am e-mailing you to ask and state my opinion on PA House bill 2451 that is banning “assault weapons.”    Now I may know very little about the process of a bill becoming a law on the state level, due to lack of schooling in that area, but please bear with me.  From my understanding, it will be banning the selling, buying, transferring, and owning of the weapons the bill describes, except for those affected by certain circumstances.  I would like to know how you are going to vote on this.  I personally feel that this is just politics.  The features described are completely cosmetic and for the most part do not effect the operation of the weapon.  These features just make a rifle/pistol more enjoyable to shoot because of level of comfort they provide.  Those same features also make it so civilians can own weapons that look and feel like the ones current militaries issue to their soldiers without them actually owning those weapons.  Also on the other end of it, it makes weapons look more appealing cosmetically and more comfortable, so the shooter can make more precise shots.  A more precise shot means if he had to defend himself or someone else he could remove a threat without the chance of hitting innocent bystanders. Banning these features would be like banning cars that look fast, or banning the use of comfortable seats.   -Bob Dornin

I’m not from Pennsylvania, but does anyone else find it ironic that the very state that gave us the Constitution of the United States in 1787 should be the one now that completely defaces and disembowels the very document that we hold so revered? What would the Founding Fathers think of this travesty? Hell, you might as well throw out the 2nd Amendment altogether…it seems to me that you won’t even be able to own a rubberband gun in the great state of PA without FRANKEL, THOMAS, BISHOP, COHEN, CURRY, D. EVANS, HORSEY, JAMES, JOSEPHS, KIRKLAND, LEACH, MELIO, PISTELLA, ROEBUCK, ROONEY, STETLER, STURLA, WASHINGTON, WATERS, WEBER, WHEATLEY, WILLIAMS AND YOUNGBLOOD breathing down your neck…and who’s next, Thompson guys…my State…your State? Is it me, or did they forget to add A. HITLER’s name to the list?

WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON IN THIS GODDAMN COUNTRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[treborsnikwad]

After some thought, I figured out a way to help those certain Amerikan's in PA in wording their new act:

ASSAULT WEAPONS BAN
Sec.
12 6151. Definitions.
13 6152. Manufacture, possession and transfer of assault
14 weapons.
15 6153. Possession of assault weapon components.
16 6154. Registration of assault weapons.
17 6155. Fees.
18 § 6151. Definitions.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1 The following words and phrases when used in this subchapter
2 shall have the meanings given to them in this section unless the
3 context clearly indicates otherwise:
4 "Assault weapon." The term includes the following:
5 (1) Any weapon that possesses any of the following:
8 (i) trigger.
10 (ii) stock .
11 (iii) barrel.
12 (iv) magazine.
13 (v) loose nut behind grip.
14 (vi) what the hell…any gun, period.


Just thought it would simplify matters to avoid any confusion...

Dear Representative Feese,

I am writing you on a mater of great concern. It has been brought to my
attention that on March 17, 2004 that a new bill was introduced, and
possibly be placed into effect within sixty days of it's introduction.
House Bill No 2451

I urge you sir to vote down this horrendous atrocity against the sportsmen
of Pennsylvania.

I currently own a rifle that falls within this bills writing. I underwent
extensive FBI and ATF back ground checks, finger printing and submitted
passport quality photos, as well as having the Police Chief attest to my
character.

It is quite obvious that the constituents that are behind such a waste of
the Commonwealths tax dollars are greatly misinformed. Perhaps if they were
to focus their efforts on producing incentives for industry that a positive
goal could be obtained.


Sincerely,

Dear Mr. Ardrey

Thank-you for your email. I do not believe the Bill will even move out of committee not to mention become law in 60 days.

Best wishes
