I just saw in a paper on line that Pennsylvania is considering all gun registration. Does anyone have any insight into this? Will it include blackpowder people?
People also ask
Do you have to register long guns in PA?
No, in fact in Pennsylvania it is actually illegal for any government or police agency to keep a registry of firearms per 18 Pa.C.S. § 6111.4 (Registration offirearms).
I didn't mean to rattle so many cages, what I had read on it was either from the NRA, the CCRKBA or our local liberal Montana paper, the Billings Gazette.I am aware of the federal laws banning states from doing too many radical things, but one more change in the legislators in Washington Could make such a thing possible. You folks that live there, live among some pretty tough state regulations on gun ownership.New York might be 1800 miles from where I live, but there is danger from the high population areas over us that have nothing but land.If we are going by what we find on the web, I found this:
The web is a neat place and it has a lot of good information but it also has a lot of stuff that is totally wrong.
Some people get a kick out of creating "news" they know is wrong. I don't know why. I guess it's just a part of the, "Look at ME." syndrome or the, "Boy! I sure fooled those idiots !!" syndrome.

Hi Zonie when I said I had read it online, that is the way I get my daily papers. I'm far enough remote from where the papers are published, that we don't have any paper service here. I get the New York Times, Billings Gazette, and the Great Falls Tribune all by email subscriptions. Thank God for the Internet in my case, it might be the thing that destroyed the newspaper business but at least I do have access to news. I feel sorry for those that get their news off twitter, Facebook, and whatever else is out there bouncing around.If we are going by what we find on the web, I found this:

That type of “registration Law” must be spreading across the country. I live in Rhode Island and their attempting to pass a new law that all dealers will provide the State police with a monthly report on all firearms sold! In its form right now it will require all the firearm data but not the purchasers name. At least for now. Either way it’s a bad bill. ArtZonie, that is also my understanding re PA law. Unfortunately, it doesn't stop the State Police from maintaining a registry of all licensed handgun sales.

--We need to keep a list of all politicians who introduce unconstitutional manure like this and shout their sins from the rooftops. And how about the police lobbying Congress at the state level? Separation of powers? Perhaps a form of intimidation? I believe our chains are being forged.Sometimes grossly unconstitutional laws are passed simply because the legislators are not paying attention. In Arkansas, it has long been custom to support any bill the author says is "not controversial". They do this because they know they will need similar support on future bills they want passed. In 1990 a bill went through the House and passed 99-1 that would have prohibited the use of ammunition with projectiles containing "any metallic substance". This would have even applied to law enforcement. I was a lobbyist supporting 2nd Amendment issues at the time and got a call from my State Senator advising me this bill was going into Senate Committee. I took my old iron mule from my home to Little Rock and went to the Capitol and lobbies mightily warning that passing this bill could end their political careers. It was buried in committee to never become law. Folks, we gotta pay attention and get involved. Get complacent and we could lose it all.
The big city libtard legislators introduce the same ilk every legislative session. Some do not care if it would be unconstitutional or not. They don't expect it to ever get out of committee and it will die when the session ends. Often introduced just to make some local political machine person happy. Our Philadelphia state legislators are often fairly ignorant of history and the constitution. I remember when an unpopular foreign official was being spoken against on the house floor in PA and the politician made the reference to hanging the king if effigy from the Liberty tree. Many black legislators walked out raising concerns that the speech was about lynching black. Of course they spoke in public about the racial remarks of the politician, making even bigger arses of them selves. But in Philly the black constituents loved them for their combined stupidity. A local TV station engineer told me they get complaints from Black viewers everytime the Ox Bow Incident is shown on TV because the movie description says it is about a lynching. (I do not remember any black actors in the whole movie) Urban area law makers regardless of race tend to be uneducated and ignorant when it comes to gun control and a few other issues. I remember a NY Senator who introduced a congressional bill to outlaw any gun with a bayonet lug as an assault weapon. Or the New Jersey bill to outlaw any firearm, muzzle loader or not, if 50 caliber or over. Including the Brown Bess.I just saw in a paper on line that Pennsylvania is considering all gun registration. Does anyone have any insight into this? Will it include blackpowder people?
Yeah that's the problem here too. Censorship.We have a BIG gun control problem coming up here in Virginia, but I guess the moderator would rather I didn't go into it here.
================================================If the proposed laws include muzzleloading guns or cap & ball pistols then feel free to discuss them here. Just make sure the discussions are about this kind of guns without getting into the modern cartridge gun area. For instance a total ban on clips holding more than 10 rounds would not apply to the guns the forum is about. Neither are bump stocks, laser sights and Picatinny rails.

=================================================================One reason I stocked up on lead is because I foresee a day when the lead ban bandwagon shows up in PA.
