Pennsylvania House Hearings on Crime, Violence & Guns

http://www.pathcoalition.org/
From the PATH Coalition:
The Pennsylvania House Judiciary Committee has announced a series of hearings that will be held across the Commonwealth “to get citizen input on issues and proposed legislation related to crime, violence and gun policies.”

These hearings provide an excellent forum for advocates to let legislators know that they support sensible gun laws aimed at cracking down on illegal gun trafficking. Among the proposals under consideration by the committee is HB 22, the one-handgun-per-month bill. This legislation would stop the bulk purchase of handguns, put gun traffickers out of business, dry up the supply of illegal handguns, and have no impact on sportsmen and other legal gun owners. Please consider attending the hearing closest to you.

The hearing schedule is as follows:


April 13 North Philadelphia Time 10:00 a.m. - Noon
Colorado Community Center
2243-51 North 20th Street

April 19 Allentown Time and Location TBA

April 20 Center City Philadelphia 10:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m.
City Hall

April 27 Harrisburg - Policy hearing
