Nine Philadelphia-area Republicans signaled last week they would break ranks with their caucus today and support handgun-control legislation when the state House of Representatives resumes debate on a controversial proposal.Bull. It won't do a damned thing to "reduce gun violence"and these idiots know it. If they don't, they shouldn't be trusted with matches or pointy objects.
The measure, which would require reporting handguns that are lost or stolen, has been vigorously pushed by Democrats in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh as a "common sense" restriction that would reduce gun violence.
As a matter of fact, "prohibited persons," that is, criminals will be the "only ones" exempted from the requirement, since forcing them to report they had illegally possessed a gun would violate their Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination.
How about some "common sense politician control" for a change?
The article doesn't ID all of the republitards, but does give us the names of two, who deserve to hear from PA gun owners in no uncertain terms:
Rep. John Perzel
Rep. John Taylor
Naturally, the bill's sponsor, democrat Rep. David Levdansky bills himself as "an avid hunter."
It's past time gun owners stopped letting republicans betray them and still get elected. If you agree, tell them so--and let them know this betrayal will be remembered if and when they run for future office for the rest of their miserable political lives.
If anyone knows the names and how to contact the other dopey seven dwarfs, please give us that info via "Comments," below.
