47 Democrats Vote For Gun Traffickers

Forty seven Pennsylvania House Democrats joined eighty one Republicans today to defeat common sense gun safety bill which would have helped curb gun trafficking in Pennsylvania.  The shocking laxity of our laws regarding lost and stolen guns has created a network of straw purchasers and street gun dealers distributing these tools of death and destruction from their trunks in our cities and killing our children.  It's a sad day for our kids when our own legislators refuse to stand up for human life.  Our most basic rights, as citizens, are the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.  Americans in Philadelphia, Allentown, Reading and elsewhere aren't as important though as the right of any Pennsylvanian to become a gun trafficker.

Hmmm...am I shocked...well...no.

I don't suppose you have a list of those Democrats...might any be representing Reading or Berks?

[John Morgan]

Not yet but I'm going to try and get it.

Common sense gun safety bill? Are you out of your mind? Did you read the thing? There's no intent required, there's no way to prove you reported your theft, there's a disincentive to report you were the victim of a burglary if don't do it within 3 days cause you'll get arrested for a felony if the police recover YOUR guns. Thank God for the common sense of the No votes!

Let's hear you after one of your loved ones get killed on the altar to your gun god. Reporting lost and stolen guns will rid us of gun traffickers and make everyone safer. That's common sense.
