Yesterday, on the same day as the National Vigil for Gun Violence Victims, the U.S. House of Representatives voted to pass national mandatory concealed carry reciprocity- the bill which says if you can carry in any state you can carry in every state. They did this despite the warnings of law enforcement that this is dangerous and that it undermines state and local authority.
They gave an early Christmas gift to the greedy gun lobby.
The good news is that 8 of PA’s 17 sitting reps voted No, including three key Republicans. These 8 recognized the danger and stood up for the safety of Pennsylvanians. Please join us in thanking them. And if your rep was one of the other 9, make sure he knows how disappointed you are that he put the gun lobby ahead of you.
