Pennsylvania's gun laws got tougher Friday as Gov. Ed Rendell signed a bill increasing the mandatory sentence for anyone convicted of shooting a firearm at a police officer and for crimes committed with illegally purchased guns.What about if the shooting is defensive? And how about increasing penalties for "Only Ones" unjustifiably shooting citizens (instead of the standard "he did not violate any department policies"?)
Rendell signed the wide-reaching bill at the Philadelphia Fraternal Order of Police lodge.
And as far as "illegally purchased guns," does that include those bought with money taken via coercion?
I've about had it with the damned self-serving FOP and other public employee unions. Let's fight back and see how they like it when it's their ox being gored. I think it's past time we started demanding a law requiring all police to keep their service weapons locked at their police station when not on duty, with a log record to show them properly checked in and out.
For...the...children...
