At the request of Governor Rendell, the House Judiciary Committee will vote on three anti-gun measures this Tuesday, Nov. 20 at 10 a.m. The trio of bills includes a ban on law-abiding citizens purchasing more than one handgun a month, legislation which would permit local municipalities to enact their on anti-gun laws and regulations creating a patchwork of conflicting laws across the state and a law that will make criminals out of crime victims for failing to realize soon enough that their firearms we stolen.

House Bill 22: Sponsor, State Rep. John Myers (D-Philadelphia). This legislation will prohibit law-abiding citizens from purchasing more than one handgun a month. Studies have shown that "one-gun-a-month" laws do not reduce crime.

House Bill 18: Sponsor, State Rep. Dwight Evans (D-Philadelphia). This legislation would invalidate Pennsylvania's current law that provides for uniform state law regulating firearms and ammunition by preventing localities from passing more stringent gun-control laws. If HB18 passes, municipalities will be able to enact a crazy patchwork of gun-control laws and regulations. The right of law-abiding Pennsylvanians to purchase firearms and ammunition will vary greatly depending on where they happen to live. Pennsylvania will end up with thousands of new gun-control laws and regulations affecting gun owners from one local jurisdiction to another, none of which will reduce crime.

House Bill 29: Sponsor, State Rep. Jewell Williams (D-Philadelphia). This legislation would turn victims of crime into criminals by failing to report a missing or stolen firearm within 24 hours of discovering the firearm missing.

It is imperative that all sportsmen, gun-owners and firearms enthusiasts contact the members of the House Judiciary Committee immediately and urge them to oppose these dangerous anti-gun bills that will do nothing to reduce crime.
