Pennsylvania House Democrats Advance ‘Assault Weapons’ Ban, Other Gun Controls

On Wednesday, Pennsylvania House Democrats introduced a “assault weapon” ban, as well as a ban on non-serialized parts of guns, their purchase, possession and sale.

The Democrats have also introduced legislation that “prohibits accelerated trigger activaters, which increase gunfire rate,” as well as a bill “to subject 3D-printed guns to the same regulation as standard firearms,” according to the Associated Press.

The House Judiciary Committee has advanced all four bills.

The gun controls have only a slim chance of surviving Pennsylvania’s Republican-controlled Senate if they manage to pass in the evenly split House. The Pennsylvania House is made up of 101 Democrats and 101 Republicans.

Chanukah is one of the most joyous celebrations & it starts next week. Unfortunately, many soldiers, civilians and the 100 hostages are unable to celebrate. IDF soldiers (our modern-day Maccabees) are on the frontlines in winter conditions seeking to end this war & locate the hostages. Will you help the Genesis 123 Foundation show them your appreciation by providing Chanukah gifts to IDF Soldiers TODAY?.

The NRA/ILA stated that “until a special election in February is held, the House’s partisan divide will remain at 101-101.” The NRA-ILA noted that “until a special election is held in February, the House partisan divide is deadlocked at 101-101.” In addition, the partisan bills haven’t generated any interest in the Republican-controlled Senate. “There is not one single Republican who has sponsored any of these measures.”
