Apparently changing the politicians hasn't accomplished much. What needs to change is how we influence their handlers. Apparently there is vast ineptitude on our side to get things done which isn't shared by other interests. Somehow construction companies, police supply vendors, municipal pension funds, etc. don't take "Well...maybe this year, we'll see...if they have time, but there's opposition..." for an answer, but for some reason we gun owners do. That's gotta change.

Born and raised in Pa from my early days of hunting in the 50's, not only semi-auto rifles, but semi-auto shotguns for deer was and is still illegal.
Don't forget in-line ML's was illegal for years.
EDIT: Note my 1st semi-auto was a Remington 16 ga Sportsman 58, that my mom won in 1954 at the local Sportsman Club. It was good to go, for everything but deer. Kicked like a friging mule, I was the only guy in town with an auto-loader.

I'm going to resurrect this old thread because the PA Game Commission has given a unanimous preliminary vote to allow semi-auto for both big and small game. Mags limited to 5 rounds with one in the tube. Air rifles will also be permitted for small game. Final vote will be held at the end of next month. All you Pennsy-tuckians please email the PAGC with positive responses to make sure the final vote is the same. Check out the PAGC web-site for all the details. Finally!!!!!!!
