Pennsylvania is shaping up to become one of the more pivotal battlegrounds in our fight to not just maintain our Second Amendment rights, but also to gain ground. The stuff with Harrisburg I talked about yesterday, the efforts in Pittsburgh to overstep their legal authority too, all of it adds together to illustrate that there is a real battle taking place, one that may have ramifications throughout the country.
That means Second Amendment supporters throughout the state need to reach out and have their voices heard. That includes some Senate hearings in Pennsylvania that the good folks over at Firearm Owners Against Crime want residents to be aware of.
IF you believe in your/our Right to Keep and Bear Arms then please pay attention to this alert. We need your help to get the word out, and please attend, these 2nd Amendment/Article 1, Section 21 PA Senate Judiciary Committee Hearings in Harrisburg, PA on Tuesday, September 24th, 2019 and Wednesday, September 25th, 2019 in the North Office Building, Hearing Room 1.
The 1st Day of Hearings: Tuesday, September 24th, 2019 ***9:00AM-12:0PM*** will focus on mental and behavioral health issues related to recent mass murders and violence.
The 2nd Day of Hearings: Wednesday, September 25th, 2019 ***1:00PM-4:00PM*** will focus on Gun Issues such as Extreme Risk Protection Orders (ERPO/Red Flag Laws-Gun Confiscation Without Due Process), Universal Gun Registration (Universal Background Checks), Gun & Magazine Bans, etc.
The paid Bloomberg red and yellow shirts WILL be there pushing their manufactured talking points. We all need to be there to counter their paid anti-gun presence, and to represent the pro 2A position of the silent majority of Pennsylvania. If you want to stop Pennsylvania from adopting New Jersey anti-gun laws please attend these hearings.
We are asking each of you to help in absolutely overwhelming the Capitol inside and outside with people recognizable as 2A supporters by filling the Capitol Building in Harrisburg beyond capacity for 2 days on Sept 24-25, 2019 and demonstrate to everyone, including the biased media, that citizens DO support our Constitutional Freedoms.
I’m going to ask you to go and read the whole post over there as there are some important links and other bits of information that should be read, but I didn’t want to just lift all of their content and post it here for obvious reasons.
However, if you’re someone who can be at these hearings and let your voice be heard, I encourage you to do what you can. Take a day off from work, skip school, whatever you need to do to make sure your Second Amendment rights are preserved by making your voice heard loud and clear. Gun rights don’t just up and vanish like socks in the dryer. They’re taken away.
When lawmakers understand that they will lose their jobs for such actions, however, they tend to recognize the impact a wrong vote will have on their careers and choose accordingly. That means Pennsylvania residents should make their feelings clear.
For those outside of Pennsylvania, that’s probably not an option. However, if you want to help, I’m sure FOAC is welcome to donations to help their legal fights for gun rights in the state.
