Lawmakers in Pennsylvania are pushing to make the state a Second Amendment Sanctuary.
In an powerful move, Pennsylvania lawmakers are looking to make the state a sanctuary for the Second Amendment. This legislation will make it very difficult for the ATF and other federal agencies to push for gun control by removing the ability of local officials to work with federal authorities on gun control-related issues.
HARRISBURG – A bill unveiled on Wednesday would effectively make Pennsylvania a Second Amendment sanctuary state by barring state officials from cooperating with any federal effort to curtail gun rights.
Senate Bill 624 was authored by state Sen. Doug Mastriano, R-Franklin, who was among those at the U.S. Capitol during the Jan. 6 insurrection as Congress was voting to certify the Electoral College vote declaring Joe Biden the winner of the 2020 presidential election.
Mastriano said that the legislation was inspired by Biden’s comment last month that “no amendment to the Constitution is absolute,” as well as by efforts by the Biden administration to curtail gun rights.
“For these words to be uttered by the commander-in-chief of the free world is very disconcerting,” Mastriano said, adding: “Dangerous times indeed.”
Dangerous times are indeed here, as state Senator Mastriano pointed out the Second Amendment is under siege as the ATF, Biden Administration, and Congressional Democrats come in to punish law-abiding citizens for the acts of deranged lunatics and made-up threats.
States and localities are picking up on this threat and taking action, passing sanctuary legislation is one of the best ways they can take a stand.
