gun laws

It’s the first full session week with Democrats in charge of the Pa. House. They’re moving longtime priorities.

The decision to strike down the state’s 1911 laws governing concealed carry, came after a challenge by New York State Rifle and Pistol association.

Governor Hochul will call the legislature back into session in the coming weeks to address the issue. “We are not powerless.”

The U.S. Supreme Court, in a 6-3 opinion, ruled that New York's restrictions on the concealed carry of firearms in public violates the Second Amendment.

“It makes gun trafficking a federal crime. And it makes sure there are penalties for the kingpins and people who are running these trafficking rings."

A bill to allow people to carry concealed weapons without a permit was passed by a divided Pennsylvania House on Tuesday, but faces a veto threat from the governor.

“I again ask this industry: what are you going to do about your products that are killing our people?”
