HARRISBURG Pennsylvanias state Senate on Tuesday approved two veto-bound firearms bills, including one to allow people to carry a loaded gun openly or concealed, without a permit, and another to punish municipalities that impose firearms ordinances that are stricter than state law.
Despite a certain veto from Gov. Tom Wolf, a Democrat, floor debate lasted nearly three hours, as Democrats warned that the result of such legislation becoming law would be more death and more violence amid already-spiking gun violence and the spread of illegal guns.
Republicans brushed aside the arguments, saying cities elsewhere with strict gun laws still have problems with gun violence and that law-abiding gun owners should not need the governments permission to carry a firearm.
This is about our Second Amendment and our right to bear arms, said Senate Majority Leader Kim Ward, R-Westmoreland, during floor arguments. The Second Amendment doesnt say anything about restrictions on our right to bear arms.
