Pennsylvania Act 192 went into effect Jan. 5. It enables anyone or any organization “adversely affected” by a local gun ordinance to sue the municipality; legal standing is afforded even if the plaintiff doesn’t reside in the municipality. The National Rifle Association, a gun rights group based in Virginia, is suing Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and the City of Lancaster — Lancaster over its 2009 ordinance that requires gun owners to report lost or stolen guns to the police. |

Nothing like a simplistic argument fueled by complex motives ! One might opine dragging out the 'NRA straw man' never seems to grow old with hoplophobes. Anti-gun types see creating a "patchwork quilt" of conflicting gun laws serves their prohibition cause.
PA gun owners, (supported by the NRA, among others) only want consistent gun law throughout the state. This current anti-gun mania harkens back to PA's "speed trap" era where municipalities prey upon transient motorists. Law-abiding gun owners want uniform gun laws they can comply with in the ordinary course of their affairs without being made prey to criminals. Criminals, of course, don't give a da*n about any municipality's gun laws; or any others, FTM. |

TO REMEMBER |
| To have no proud monarch driving over me with his gilt coaches; nor his host of excise-men and tax-gatherers insulting and robbing me; but to be my own master, my own prince and sovereign, gloriously preserving my national dignity, and pursuing my true happiness; planting my vineyards, and eating their luscious fruits; and sowing my fields, and reaping the golden grain: and seeing millions of brothers all around me, equally free and happy as myself. This, sir, is what I long for. -- General Francis Marion, American War of Independence, Georgetown, SC [Source: 'Marion, The Life of Gen. Francis Marion' by M. L. Weems, Ch.18] |
