Pennsylvania state lawmaker, Republican Thomas Murt, has introduced HB 2344, requiring individuals who wish to purchase gun ammunition to first obtain a permit.
What will that do to stop crime?

He filed it with the memo “Addressing Gun Violence and Enhancing Public Health and Safety.”
The 25-page bill says that “a person holding an ammunition purchase authorization permit issued under this section may purchase or otherwise seek the transfer of ownership of ammunition from a retailer that sells ammunition.”
The permit will not exceed $50 (for now) and it puts a tax on gun and ammunition sales. Residents won’t be allowed to bring in ammo from other states without contacting a licensed dealer.
INNOCENT GUN OWNERS COULD BECOME FELONS
Anyone, except law enforcement, who violate his mandate, could face up to a second-degree felony, a punishment that is on par with involuntary manslaughter and provides from 5 to 10 years in prison and a fine of up to $25,000.
The bill would also effectively end internet ammunition sale and delivery, according to Guns.com.
He is not seeking reelection, so what does he care? Does this represent the will of the people of Pennsylvania? They are letting criminals out of prison in Philly and refusing to arrest burglars, anyone involved with narcotics, and others they say commit non-violent crimes. But if you dare buy ammo without a permit, you go to jail?
are the people of Pennsylvania going to go along quietly with this? or will they do a virginia on him?
Easy… just steal it in <$500 increments. No jail allowed.
Taking away the ability of law abiding citizens to defend ourselves is akin to taking driver’s licenses away from law abiding citizens to keep them from being killed by a drunk driver.
Maybe lil’ Georgie Sorrows just gave him a cash infusion in an offshore account?
Even the clueless are starting to mention he who cannot be named and I view that as a good sign.
I’m sure the criminals who buy their guns and ammo on the black market will respond with a fart in the wind.
Virtue signal away comrade Murt as Rome burns to the ground, maybe you’ll get an obscure footnote somewhere one day.
