Starting in 2006 Pennsylvania gun owners began gathering every year in Harrisburg to send a simple message to state legislators: Unconstitutional and ineffective emotionally driven gun control legislation has no place in this Commonwealth and we will not stand by idly and allow our Freedoms to be eroded or taken away by any means.

Beginning in 1931, with the enactment of the Uniform Firearms Act, PA gun owners and the Right to Bear Arms has been under attack. From 'registering' gun owners with the Record of Sale form to cities like Philadelphia and Pittsburgh trying to ban firearms in defiance of law; the 'only' thing standing in the way of this socialism is the proudly defiant PA citizen.
