So what happens when they won't?
I just got "invited" into a Twitter spat of sorts centered on a bill in PA, House Bill 1243, "In firearms and other dangerous articles, further providing for persons not to possess, use, manufacture, control, sell or transfer firearms and for Pennsylvania State Police."
Evidently passage of this bill is a priority for CeaseFirePA.
And evidently NRA-ILA has been silent on it.
Curiously, it looks like there is no shortage of sponsorship support for it by Republicans joining with Democrats. So what now?
Per LegiScan status:
Status: Introduced on April 23 2013 - 25% progressDitto per American Gun Owner Alliance.
Action: 2014-03-19 - Removed from table
I'm not going to get into the Twitter recriminations and "FY" responses between the person who clued me into this, one who appears to have some skin in this game, and the prominent PA gun blogger who allowed a questioning of his personal loyalties to result in his refusing to discuss this altogether. Those who have the time and inclination can scroll through this to pull and follow threads on their own.
All I will say is that we shouldn't have to wonder or search for what NRA, which represents itself as the leader, has to say about any given gun issue. If and when this gets put back on the table, reasons and rationales ought to be fully laid out.
Get well soon. :)
