Real “Common Sense:”
“Some writers have so confounded society with government, as to leave little or no distinction between them; whereas they are not only different, but have different origins. Society is produced by our wants, and government by our wickedness; the former promotes our happiness possitively by uniting our affections, the latter negatively by restraining our vices. The one encourages intercourse, the other creates distinctions. The first is a patron, the last a punisher. “

“common sense” gun control, as he goes and throws a gun into a fire. The logical takeaway is that he wants to confiscate your guns and destroy them.
A law is not a vague and nebulous thing intended to be defined as whatever the government demands it to be.
My district which was redrawn by the Democrats on our Supreme Court that includes upper York County and adjacent locales. Its running on TV right now in these parts.
Scott Perry was Brigadier General, and that line struck me as a dig at Perry's service. Rubbed me very much the wrong way.
At least he does not pretend he hates the freedoms written in the Constitution. I wish more demo_rats said what he said because they would lose in greater numbers.

I detest the term “common sense”. It has absolutely no common meaning whatsoever. One person’s idea of common sense can be a total nightmare for the next. It’s nothing more than libspeak for the mindless.
He might call himself a pastor, but he’s no Christian, and he’s no American. These communist bastards need to be tarred and feathered and run out of town on a rail. I don’t have any tolerance left.
When I was in the US in late 2016, I was having breakfast near Washington, PA, and saw four police eating as well. Before long we were all talking and realized we served overseas at around same time as some of them. They were ex army as well. I asked them because I was considering coming down from Alberta that if I moved to PA if they’d freak out if I wore two guns on the hip. They said no, they loved that, it made their job easier. They did say some cops might harass you, but not many, and those that would would be disciplined.
So this guy should know that the men don’t stand behind him. What a complete tool.
I’m outside of his district but the pattern is alarming - People running on the “conservative” ticket while talking about “Common sense”.
These people need to be keelhauled.
Anyone that uses that phrase wants YOUR guns.
Period.
Notwithstanding the fact that he's a damned democrat...he plays up his military service a little too much...so I looked further.
Suffice to say, there are reasons that he spent 20 years AD and only made it to LTC.
He's a failure...through and through.
We already know djt cannot comprehend shall not be infringed with his bumstock ban.. I will never vote for such incompeten. Isn’t it ironic.. more gun control under Republicans than Democrats. Gun control is now called winning, a long w paying for Obamacare via monthly chuck n Nancy deals.
Meanwhile no wall.
Here’s a “common sense” question for Mr. Scott: What part of “shall not be infringed” do you not understand?
[[George Scott - candidate for Congress in Pennsylvania - calls on Congress to enact common sense gun reforms ]]
because apparently, not a single one of the some 30,000 gun laws on the books already are ‘common sense gun laws’ right scott?
