However, they are still mostly conservative and libertarian types who still strongly oppose any further gun legislation if for no other reason than they don't want any more government interference in anything. They may not give a damn about semi-auto rifles and 10+ round magazines, and they may even look down on those of us who do, but when push comes to shove, they still tend to side with us. The fudds who actively support an AWB or universal checks are actually becoming fewer and fewer I've found.
    Yeah I get a couple snotty guys at one range I shoot at, and its outside of Philly. I actually had a Vietnam vet tell me My rifle jams a lot cause his did in Nam and that it was just a weapon for war, blah blah blah. I just smiled and bit my tongue.

    No doubt. That street seems to only run one way. I can admire an heirloom piece for the craftsmanship even though I would never consider owning one. On the other hand, I have offered to allow a Fudd to shoot one of my ARs to understand what an ergonomic and easy platform it is to shoot. I explained that I would consider hunting with one even if it were limited so a singe shot in the mag due to the ergonomics and how well it stands up to the elements. You can imagine the response I got.

    PA will be fine, even with Wolf. We survived 8 years of Fast Eddie, who was more anti-gun than even Wolf, and we will still hold both houses in the legislature, the house itself by a big margin.

    PA will be fine. It won't fall. It won't progress forward for 8 years either, though. :\

    Agreed. Fast Eddie was this state's answer to Michael Bloomberg or Mumbles Menino, that is, he was very active in his quest for gun control, and he failed. Most Dems, after last year's failure to pass another national AWB and the current opposition in most states that did, are only going to pay lip service to any further bans.

    PA still has some of the best gun laws in the country. There are a lot of Fuds in this state, but nothing ever changes. I live near Cabelas, and the gun area always packed. People are mostly looking at modern hand guns and AR rifles. Hopefully the old "hunters" idea of what you need is going away. In central Pa, guns are a part of growing up. How does it look to keep the house and senate?

    What we need to do is get rid of the ban on semi auto rifles for hunting and nuke Fuddism to oblivion. Is there someone in the NRA or similar who has a formulated solution to convert Fudds? Can American Hunter and other magazines that they listen to run articles telling to get with the program already? I don't know why this hasn't been a priority for the last decade.

    There is a bill right now to allow varmint hunting with semi autos. Also, I don't think LaPierre really cares about hunting with AR's. Most of those magazines are run by fudds.
