Events in PA
The Phil. Inquirer is announcing that thousand will descend "by bus or by foot" on the state capitol to demand more gun laws. (I can't find the link, but somewhere I saw an article that the march on the capitol consisted of two people -- here's an article putting the number at "less than ten.")
And if you're in PA, here's a schedule of gunshows that I found.

I think I'll be taking a day off work to head to Harrisburg myself. A good friend of mine's brother-in-law is one of our state reps from the area and suggested he could get me in to the floor to hear the debate, which would be interesting.
I think this whole thing is really just a dog and pony show, but hopefully by making our presence felt we can end this now and it won't go any further. I was reading yesterday that there is a bill to help the city pay for 10,000 more police officer, which will probably do more to lower crime than any gun law they would end up passing. Sometime I wonder if the city does this stuff to scare the rest of the state into giving it something so they'll feel happy and go away.

"Only three states - Virginia, California and Maryland - have one-gun-a-month laws"
Yeah - and a fat lot of good that does. Boy, that murder rate in Richmond has just dropped like a rock since they passed that law, didn't it?
Oh - it didn't?
