The Pennsylvania House of Representatives has passed a measure, HB 777, aimed at prohibiting the private gunsmithing, purchase, sale, and production of untraceable gun parts, commonly referred to as 'ghost guns'. The bill, which passed with a final vote of 104-97, saw almost all Democrats and three Republicans in favor. The legislation now moves to the Senate for further consideration. This move has been praised by local Philadelphia Council members @RepCephas and @RepKenyatta, who, restricted by state law from enacting their own gun regulations, have expressed gratitude towards state representatives for addressing the issue of untraceable firearms.
With @PHLCouncil unable to write our own gun laws, I am grateful to my colleagues @RepCephas @RepKenyatta in Harrisburg for leading on this issue. No one should be able to make a ghost gun. I hope the state Senate follows the House's lead and passes this crucial measure. https://t.co/VXFZxSQqwB
