Even if your legislator usually votes in favor of gun violence prevention, they need to hear that you're paying attention and want them to pass these bills.
We're running out of time to make our voices heard, friend.
The Pennsylvania House of Representatives plans to start voting on Monday, Sept. 29, on four lifesaving gun violence prevention bills.
The NRA and other gun extremists know we're getting close to passing legislation that will put our lives and safety ahead of gun industry profits. I've heard from multiple legislators that the opposition is mobilizing to call legislative offices, trying to stop these life-saving bills. Even some Democratic gun violence prevention champions are feeling the pressure.
The bills up for vote on Monday and Tuesday are critical:
Universal Background Checks (HB 1593) closes a loophole unlicensed private sale of assault-rifles without a background check.
Extreme Risk Protection Orders (HB 1859) allows the temporary removal of firearms from someone who is a clear threat to themselves or others.
Ban on Machine Gun Conversion Devices (HB 1866) ends the spread of small, cheap devices that allow a handgun to fire up to 800 bullets in a minute.
Ban on Undetectable Firearms (HB 1099) bans the manufacturing, sale, and possession of undetectable 3D-printed firearms.
