Says Representative Angel Cruz “In the near future, I plan to re-introduce my legislation which would create the Firearms Registration Act to require all firearms in the Commonwealth to be registered with the Pennsylvania State Police (PSP).”
“Under my proposal, owners of registered firearms will be given a valid registration certificate for each registered firearm which will be valid for only one year. A registration certificate will only be issued to individuals who have never been convicted of a crime of violence, never been convicted of a crime relating to the use, possession, or sale of any dangerous drug within five years prior to the application, and is not otherwise ineligible to possess a firearm under any Federal or State law. This PSP database will aid all law enforcement officials across the state with investigations such as tracking missing or stolen firearms.”

These left-wing whack jobs can’t seem to get it through their lint-for-brains skulls that criminals do not register their guns or if they have registered guns, they were registered it was to the people they stol;e them from! Not discussed anywhere among the gun-control Commies is that laws don’t mean jack when they aren’t enforced. Convictions are way, way down. Arrests for gun-related crimes are also, thanks to the racist liberals who blame white cops and white civilians for shooting black thugs. Never mind that more than 80 percent of blacks are murdered by other blacks. And, all those strict… Read more »
Two of the Philadelphia Democrats who sponsored a bill to require concealed carry holders to purchase expensive liability insurance policies are now up on felony charges, like the common criminals many enemies of the Second Amendment turn out to be (including Jan Schakowsky’s felon husband, Robert Creamer). https://www.pennlive.com/politics/index.ssf/2014/12/charges_filed_against_two_pa_l.html

The road to Hell is always paved with good intentions. When your premise is asinine to begin with, there’s a very special place in Hell for you. For many years I was dumbfounded at how allegedly intelligent people could actually believe gun laws make people safe. Then it became clear that Safety is their ruse, as it is with any piece of legislation. Their true agenda is Control. You just have to ask yourself, Stupid or Liar?”, to know what they are attempting.
Heard the terrible news… in Saudi Arabia kidnapped by the Black stone of the Kaaba. The authorities are silent… the mystery. Can someone from the officials know the truth?
The Regard!
Registration of any fire arm that is not nfa I strictly against the Pennsylvania state constitution. I’m other words illegal . it is against the law for any government agency to require the registration of any non MFA fire arm to be registered .this concept was introduced a few years back and failed this one will to . ( at least it better)
Angel Cruz can take this legislation and stick it where the sun don’t shine.
and in 2 yrs there will be a fee for ea reg’d gun that will increase to $100 and keep going up .don’t think for once these Philly Demos don’t have a method to this madness
Flush this Philly turd. Many people say Gov. Wolf ( D) was elected as payback against Corbett (R) over his handling of the Penn State issue. IE allowing team to be stripped of their wins , due to a crime they had no part in.
She keeps bringing up her “Create Criminals from Common People” bill knowing full well that the Supreme Court has ruled that you cannot prosecute a “Prohibited Person” for failing to register a gun, it would violate their 5th Amendment Rights. Pre-confiscation lists such as hers only identifies the common citizen that she is afraid of and does nothing to reduce crime or violence. It actually increases the violence since she is willing to have YOU killed to force compliance.
I just don’t understand it! Pennsylvanians “cling to their Bibles and guns” yet they continue to elect quislings in the Democratic Party, most recently a ‘tax and spend’ governor.
