There, fixed it. Pennsylvanians in general love their guns and their hunting. I don't believe the original version.
Fast Eddie just might be the Dem’s VP candidate in ‘08. He’s succeeded in fooling the voters of Pa. twice so it won’t be too hard to fool the rest of the country.
As you certainly know Erik, this is unconstitutional by the state constitution. I think there will be challenges to it if it’s passed.
Now Fast Eddie wants to spread the successful policy statewide. /s
Good thing Edward the Fast isn’t the Governor of Colorado; there would have been a whole lot more dead people last Sunday!
Sure thing. How about some of the polling criteria that is not mentioned. You know, info such as "Adults in Beauty Salons between noon and three pm."
If they cannot enforce current laws, how are new laws going to help?????
Absolutely no logic whatsoever in this.
I think that's why he's on his unpopular anti-gun crusade at this point, hoping that if he can force gun control in a state like PA, the looney left will approve of him and he'll have a job when his failed term as governor is over.

Won’t be the first time Fast Eddie discarded the state constitution. Remember the illegal pay raises about a year ago?
Exactly right. One great thing about Pennsylvania.
Yes it does. We should do away with them. All of them. No background checks, no outlawing of private gun sales, no outlawing of carrying guns in your vehicle.
Yes, modern people reject the ‘fashion and passion’ of unfruitful and populist fads of the past and return to simple, timeless principals. One of those being to have the character to enforce the simple and basic laws first: those addressing intimidation, assault, theft, arson, and murder, even when the attempt is not successful.
Character is the expression of basic, deeply seated, values. What values are expressed when a person seems to want to find ways to excuse crime and excuse the circumstances of the criminal, or to let convicted criminals off with a slap on the wrist, as well as to make it difficult for a person to defend themselves.
Policies are expressed by legislative and executive bodies as an expression of their collective values. It is not a matter of “courage”, for a courageous person already knows what is right. The call the have the courage to enforce existing law is a call to a person and government institutions we presume already know what is the right thing to do.
My call is for these people and the institutions they operate to know right from wrong, which they all too often do not.
Modern people are willing to be honest about their basic values. People of the middle to later 20th Century for a few decades found it too easy to climb in a big blue bubble of their own making, a bubble sometimes called Camelot where everything was done to advance “social justice”, which meant that intent to have equal outcomes trumped fair and even-handed rules and justice.
Push polls.
For every disarmed victim, these political hacks should be charged with accessory to murder and deprivation of civil rights under color of law.
There. Fixed your fix. Those of us in Pennsylvania know its the liberal bookends of the state (Pittsburgh and Philadelphia) that are ruining it for the rest of the state.
Good point.
OK Mr Mayor I have a suggestion A mandatory carry law for all non - felon city residents
"The right of the citizens to bear arms in defense of themselves and the State shall not be questioned."
Which part of that doesn't Eddie and his cronies understand?
