Biden has signed an executive order banning so-called “ghost guns.” These are weapons made from kits that don’t have serial numbers. If you are a crook or a mass murderer, you don’t need to make the effort to file off the serial number; the gun doesn’t have one.
A gun fanatic is visiting municipalities in Carbon County urging them to pass what is called a “Second Amendment Sanctuary Ordinance.” I read a copy of the ordinance tonight, and if I am reading it correctly (and I will admit it is somewhat difficult to comprehend), it would call upon these municipalities to stop enforcement of laws banning “ghost guns.”
The resolution also would prohibit regulation of bump stocks or clip capacity or flash suppressors. Note that none of those items are used by hunters. They are used by criminals and whack jobs.
Bowmanstown, Palmerton, Lansford, and Penn Forest Townships have passed this resolution. Did they hold public hearings? Did they take testimony? Did they even read what they were passing?
I am not on Facebook or Twitter or whatever, but if you are a reader of this post, feel free to repost this. The guy who is pushing this has some real problems, and so do the municipalities that have adopted it.
I am very concerned that the acceptance of this ordinance will create a haven for criminals and other lawless individuals. What will this do to our property values, our quality of life, and our attractiveness as a tourist destination for those who love and appreciate nature’s beauty? I am most upset that some of our elected officials are encouraging this passing of this ordinance.
ReplyDeleteI really think they have no idea what is in this resolution they are rushing to pass.
ReplyDeleteAs a avid hunter flash/sound suppressors are fairly common only boomers see no in them. Hell in Europe which has some of the strictest gun laws sees them as accessories and can be bought over counter here you have anywhere from 1 month to 2 years for the background check to pass before you can take possession
