HB 2244 passed out of the Pennsylvania House Judiciary Committee by a 14-12 vote.
Every Republican on the committee voted NO.
But this fight is not over.
HB 2244 cleared House Judiciary and was laid on the table on September 8th. That means it’s parked, not dead, and leadership can pull it back off the table for a floor vote whenever they want.
Politicians are calling it “safe storage.”
But let’s call it what it really is: deadly gun lockups.
This bill could make it harder for law-abiding Pennsylvanians to access a firearm when seconds matter most.
If a criminal breaks into a home in the middle of the night, a mother should not be forced to fumble with a safe, a lock, a key, or a code while her children are in danger.
That is not safety. That is a deadly mandate from the politicians.
