Thanks to Frank S. for bringing this bill to our attention.
House Bill No. 760 was introduced in the State House of representatives last week.
The bill was introduced by representatives Cruz, Youngblood, Parker, Wheatley, Bennington and Curry.
The legislation calls for every gun in Pennsylvania to be registered with the state, and each registration must be renewed annually. The registration would cost the gun owner $10 per gun each year. The bill also calls for each gun owner to be fingerprinted, have a back ground check, and to submit pass port-style photos for registration cards. The registration card for each gun would then have to be carried with that gun at all times. Any gun that registration is denied for would then be confiscated by the state police.
House Bill No. 760 was referred to a committee last week, and there's no word on when the house would vote on it.
10 NEWS spoke to local sportsmen who are outraged over the proposed legislation. Those sportsmen say they'll contact their local representatives and ask them to fight this bill.

My reps Harhai and Daley both called me today and said they wasn't voting for this. They also told me that their phones were ringing off the hook with negative support on this issue. Not to mention that some of the people were just down right nasty !!!!!!!!!!! :lol:
