An action alert was sent to tens of thousands of gun control supporters across the commonwealth over the weekend: Five firearms-related bills designed to weaken the state's already porous gun laws will come before the state House Judiciary Committee today. Because this is Pennsylvania -- a state where the gun lobby can pretty much dictate to our do-nothing lawmakers when they can and can't go to the bathroom -- groups like CeaseFirePA don't have the luxury of mincing words when it comes to motivating supporters to pressure their representatives in the Legislature to do the right thing.

Hey, Mr. Norman, how about we set “rational limits” to your free speech rights - and, oh, by the way, I get to define “rational”.
To the author: Define infringe for me, and then we can talk. Moron.
Rational limits, defined and enforced by collectivists. What could possibly go wrong?
Be very careful what you agree to.
The definition of mentally ill can be very broad. It can encompass everything from something like temporary post partum depression to schizophrenia.
Most mental illness would not preclude gun ownership. Only those adjudicated as mentally ill as being a danger to themselves or others should be prohibited from owning guns.
The Left would take an open ended statement like “the mentally ill” and march a battalion of restrictions through the gap. They are currently ready to diagnose every soldier that has ever seen combat with PTSD so they can restrict their right to own guns.
Oh come on, guys. They’re ‘rational’ limits, and who else is better qualified to determine ‘rational’ limits on firearms ownership than a bunch of city dwelling liberal nimrods who don’t know a damn thing about firearms or the people who legally own them. What could possibly go wrong?
Freedom cannot be rationed.
Tony Norman appears to be the newspaper “sob sister”. They are editorialists who are hired specifically to irritate readers. Often, if they do not generate enough hate mail, they are fired.
They always have limits, however, because if they annoy the public too much, they will be fired for that as well.
Yup. Headed that way. Depressed? Anxious? Be vewwy vweey cawefull what you say or express. Basically, keep quiet.
ATF Form 4077 line f is where the line should be draw...
Anything outside of that standard should contested tooth and nail...
The gun lobby does not consider arming blind people an absurdity and views any restriction on gun ownership as inherently unconstitutional.
So this guy is saying that the handicapped are second class citizens and not entitled to the same rights as other citizens.
And by the way the government is not arming this man they are returning his legal property (which was probably illegally confiscated). The man is arming himself which is his right.
Boy this guy is goose stepping little fascist isn’t he.
He is ready to gut the Bill of Rights from groin to gullet.
“We need to hold people accountable first who are taking these drugs...”
We need to hold people accountable first who are making these drugs available...ie, the psychiatrists...
Because there are no rational limits!
Why can’t Big Government Lovers handle limits?
“Mr. Norman....we already have rational limits on gun ownership”
I would even go so far as to say we have irrational limits on gun ownerhsip.
2A implies nothing about hunting ...
but it implies plenty about not being prey.
>> I would even go so far as to say we have irrational limits on gun ownership
bttt
You got that exactly right. I would make a bet that in the not distant future, anyone who ever took a valium after a bereavement or some such, is going to be on the list as “mentally unstable” and not eligible for Second Amendment rights.
That’s why I can’t say it enough, do NOT register your guns!
limits evolves in to “limiters”.
