PA Dems Want Bans and Buying Limits

State Sen. Connie Williams of Montgomery County asks: How can Democrats convince Pennsylvanians their proposed gun control legislation is aimed only at curbing "gun violence" and not hunting rights?

The answer: Stop proposing legislation that punishes law-abiding citizens for the actions of criminals. Instead of imposing purchase limits and outright bans, put convicted criminals — who actually commit crimes with firearms — in jail and don't let them out.

Legislative proposals would include limits on the sale of handguns to one per month; a ban on military-style assault weapons statewide; additional funding for police and police equipment; and a requirement that gun owners report a lost or stolen firearms within 24 hours.

Williams said voters in her Philadelphia state Senate district want sensible gun control. It is voters in rural Pennsylvania who need convincing, she said.

"How do we get people to understand that we're not taking away anybody's right to hunt," Williams said. "We're really trying to slow down the explosion of gun violence."
