Pennsylvania's gun laws got tougher Friday as Gov. Ed Rendell signed a bill increasing the mandatory sentence for anyone convicted of shooting a firearm at a police officer and for crimes committed with illegally purchased guns.What about if the shooting is defensive? And how about increasing penalties for "Only Ones" unjustifiably shooting citizens (instead of the standard "he did not violate any department policies"?)
Rendell signed the wide-reaching bill at the Philadelphia Fraternal Order of Police lodge.
And as far as "illegally purchased guns," does that include those bought with money taken via coercion?
I've about had it with the damned self-serving FOP and other public employee unions. Let's fight back and see how they like it when it's their ox being gored. I think it's past time we started demanding a law requiring all police to keep their service weapons locked at their police station when not on duty, with a log record to show them properly checked in and out.
For...the...children...

I'm so confused--I heard that it's an "important pro-gun bill".
Guess I'm not pragmatic enough.
The bill has zero effect on lawful citizens. But David's point of why do LEO's get special laws protecting them more than other citizens. Why not make that law for shooting at anyone.
This police state crap is growing all the time. Today will be better than tomorrow because tomorrow will be more of a police state and larger government. This will only end with a civil war or a murderous bunch of goons attacking citizens who are on the list for speaking out against out of control government.
Here's a point of proof government is out of control. If someone we could go back in time and pull 100 WW2 vets from 1958 and bring them into todays world. They without question would flip out wanting to know what the hell went wrong with this country. They would be shocked, to say the least.
