    I pulled this from another forum. It would seem that PA is quickly becoming North Maryland. If you live in PA, look out for these 2 Bills. They could be nasty.




    During the week of Sept. 24th the PA House will be voting on 2 very important Bills, HB2060 & HB2227.

    HB2060, sponsored by Rep. Marguerite Quinn (R-Bucks Co.) will close so called "Loopholes" forcing anyone accused (guilty or not) of domestic abuse to relinquish their firearms within 24 hours of the issuance of a PFA and may only be turned over to an FFL, an Attorney or the Sheriff (or Police Dept). The burden of proof of innocence lies on the shoulders of the accused. This Bill also strips the Judiciaries ability to determine if the subject can keep their firearms. We all know that this will put an undue burden on the accused with legal fees (if they are lucky) or complete loss of the property without compensation (guilty or not).

    HB2060

    HB2227, sponsored by Rep. Todd Stephens (R-Montgomery Co.) is the Extreme Risk Order, more correctly known as the Gun Confiscation Order, bill that will allow almost anyone to say that you are a threat to yourself or others with no actual proof of a threat. Although this Bill gives the aggrieved the chance for a hearing 10 days later, AFTER the firearms were seized from them, it will be at their own expense to try to recover their property. Something most of us cannot afford to do. They will also be granted unlimited extensions to keep your firearms from you.

    HB2227

    These two Bills are being forced through and being stripped of all Amendments to get them to pass as quickly as possible. The anti-gun lobby is pushing so hard they are only hearing their voices and not ours. We have word from Harrisburg that the likelihood of these bills passing is EXTREMELY HIGH.

    We ask that you contact all Legislators (both House and Senate) on these two matters and tell them they are wrong and to NOT support them. People should not be presumed guilty before they are allowed to defend themselves from allegations. We are seeing what happens when we allow them to go unscathed with the way they are trying to destroy Judge Kavanaugh. We must not allow them to turn PA into a 'guilty to proven innocent' State.

    At least Maryland doesn't allow just anyone to swear out a complaint.

    Of course Maryland allows for it.

    All the "Just Anyone" has to do is tell the police.

    Then the police swear out the complaint.

    The only saving grace to HB1302 is that the person who spoke with the police will be found out in the end. "In Good Faith" or not, there will be a law suit.

    Similar issue is that Governor Jerry Brown of the state of Californication just signed new gun control bills on long guns. Raised the age from 18 to 21 like he did for handguns. With exemptions. One is if you have a hunting license. Has he raised the age for that too?
