Richard Gray from the City 19 of Lancaster. Good morning, Tom. 20 MAYOR McMAHON: Yes, thank you. Good 21 morning, everyone. Thanks for inviting us and 22 giving us the opportunity to give two things; 23 first, the perspective of the Pennsylvania 24 League of Cities and Municipalities; and 25 second, Mayor Gray and I each would like to 8 1 give you our own personal perspective from 2 what's happening in our cities. 3 So, let me start it off by saying, 4 again, welcome and thank you, Chairman 5 Caltagirone, Chairman Marsico and members of 6 the Judiciary Committee. My name is Mayor Tom 7 McMahon, Reading. With me is Mayor Rick Gray 8 of Lancaster. It's our pleasure to be here 9 representing the Pennsylvania League of Cities 10 and Municipalities to discuss the very 11 important and very pressing issue of gun 12 violence in our Commonwealth and in our 13 communities. 14 By way of background, the leadership 15 of the league began to discuss the issues 16 surrounding gun violence last year when the 17 House held its three-day Committee of the Whole 18 to address gun violence. At that time a number 19 of our member municipalities were dealing with 20 gun violence crimes within their communities on 21 a daily basis. 22 As you're all aware, crime and gun 23 violence are not just, quote, big city 24 problems. Our small and mid-size cities, and 25 even for some of our suburban and rural 9 1 communities, have faced challenges brought 2 about by violent gun crime. The victims of 3 violent crime and their family members are not 4 the only ones affected by this troubling trend. 5 Violent crime affects the entire community. 6 People feel less safe in their own 7 neighborhoods; workers and visitors in a 8 community don't want to stay after dark; and 9 residents that can afford to leave, move away. 10 For these reasons, the issue of crime 11 and gun violence came to the forefront last 12 fall, and PLCM began looking for ways to be an 13 active participant in finding solutions. 14 Based on our initial discussions, our 15 president, Mayor Chris Doherty of Scranton, 16 named a special task force to review the 17 league's policy concerning gun violence in 18 order to be engaged in discussions with the 19 legislature. I'm pleased and proud to be chair 20 of that task force. 21 Our task force held its first meeting 22 in January and focused on finding common ground 23 among our varied members in terms of what we 24 believe would make a difference in our 25 communities. Our goal is not to infringe on 10 1 constitutional rights. Our goal is to make our 2 communities safer with measures that make sense 3 and can be accomplished. As such, the 4 following policies were adopted by our task 5 force. 6 PLCM supports mandatory sentences for 7 violent crime repeat offenders. House 8 Bill 785 provides mandatory sentencing for 9 repeat offenses committed with firearms. The 10 bill provides for five years of jail time for a 11 second or subsequent offense if a person 12 visibly displaces or poses a firearm during the 13 commission of a crime. 14 Additionally, the bill provides a 15 minimum sentence of seven years if a person 16 discharges a firearm during a crime or 17 possesses a gun that was stolen or illegally 18 obtained. We believe placing a mandatory 19 sentence on repeat offenses involving guns 20 raises the seriousness of such crimes and 21 begins to provide a punishment that matches the 22 offense. 23 PLCM does support limiting handgun 24 purchases to one in any 30-day period and 25 controlling straw purchases. House Bill 22 11 1 limits handgun purchases and sales to no more 2 than one in a 30-day period for any one person. 3 We do not believe that this concept infringes 4 on the rights of sportsmen to purchase firearms 5 because this is a limitation on handgun 6 purchases only. We believe such a law will 7 control or reduce the trafficking of guns in 8 Pennsylvania. 9 We're not convinced that it is 10 necessary for a person to purchase more than 11 one handgun a month. It's our belief that bulk 12 purchases are most likely straw purchases that 13 result in illegal resale and criminal activity. 14 The league also supports defining 15 criminal-gang activity. House Bill 326 creates 16 the offense of criminal-gang activity. By 17 defining criminal-gang activity, the 18 legislature will be elevating certain gang 19 activity to that of a crime and providing 20 penalties. 21 And lastly, the PLCM supports 22 requiring gun owners to report lost or stolen 23 handguns within 24 hours. House Bill 29 24 creates a registry for lost or stolen firearms 25 and provides penalties for gun owners who do 12 1 not file a report within 24 hours of 2 discovering that their guns are missing. This 3 type of legislation places responsibility on 4 gun owners to be responsible for their 5 firearms, but also allows the Pennsylvania 6 State Police the ability to track guns used in 7 crimes or sold illegally.

  • Resolution on Legislation in Pennsylvania to Prevent Gun Violence
    Pennsylvania Council of Churches Resolution on Legislation in Pennsylvania to Prevent Gun Violence WHEREAS: A rising tide of handgun violence affects all corners of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania: to wit, in the year 2006 Philadelphia endured more than 400 homicides, the vast majority committed with handguns, the highest total since 1997; Harrisburg’s per capita rate of gun death exceeded Philadelphia, neighborhoods in Pittsburgh exploded in gun violence and several other cities in the state experienced record levels of gun death and injury. While the perception is that gun violence is an urban problem, mention of the name Nickel Mines reminds us that this violence is not limited by the size of any municipality in the Commonwealth. WHEREAS: According to the Federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF), 76% of the guns used in the commission of a crime in Philadelphia that were recovered and successfully traced, and 81% of those used in the commission of a crime in Pittsburgh were originally legally purchased within the Commonwealth; yet nearly 87% of those traced guns in Philadelphia and over 91% of those traced in Pittsburgh were not in the possession of their original, legal purchaser when used in crime; and WHEREAS: Pennsylvania has become a major net exporter of handguns to neighboring states, especially New Jersey and New York, where strong gun laws inhibit the creation and maintenance of in-state handgun trafficking networks. The Commonwealth’s relatively weak gun laws, therefore, unfairly blunt the efforts of our neighbors to diminish gun violence in their jurisdictions. WHEREAS: The Commonwealth’s existing gun laws make multiple handgun purchases easy and cheap; and encourage the illegal trade in handguns and the cruel and vicious violence that results.

    Brady 840 First St. NE Ste. 400 Washington, DC 20002 Testimony of Kelsey Rogers, Senior Manager, State Policy at Brady Support for Universal Background Checks, Extreme Risk Laws, One-Handgun-a-Month Law and Repeal of State Preemption Law Before the Virginia Senate Judiciary Committee January 13th, 2020 9:00 AM Senate Room A Pocahontas Building Chairman Edwards and Other Distinguished Members of the Virginia Senate Judiciary Committee, Founded in 1974, Brady works across Congress, courts, and communities, uniting gun owners and non- gun owners alike, to take action, not sides, and end America’s gun violence epidemic. Our organization today carries the name of Jim Brady, who was shot and severely injured in the assassination attempt on President Ronald Reagan. Jim and his wife, Sarah, led the fight to pass federal legislation requiring background checks for gun sales. Brady continues to uphold Jim and Sarah’s legacy by uniting Americans from coast to coast, red and blue, young and old, liberal and conservative, to combat the epidemic of gun violence. There are evidence-based policy solutions that we know will help address the gun violence epidemic in the Commonwealth of Virginia. Make no mistake, gun violence is an epidemic. Since the tragic shooting at Virginia Tech in 2007, more than 11,000 Virginians have died from gun violence.1 And cities like Richmond experience a disproportionate percentage of this violence, much of which is localized in communities of color. From 2013-2016, Richmond’s annual firearm homicide rate was over four times higher than the rest of the rest of the Commonwealth,2 and black residents of Richmond are twice as likely to die from gun violence in comparison to the American average.3 Additionally, according to the Educational Fund to Stop Gun Violence, rates of firearm suicide have risen over 15% in the last decade.4 Universal Background Checks 1 The Educational Fund to Stop Gun Violence, https://twitter.com/EFSGV/status/1143930059759267843.

BHOWMIK MACRO 3-27.DOC 4/1/03 2:39 PM AIMING FOR ACCOUNTABILITY: HOW CITY LAWSUITS CAN HELP REFORM AN IRRESPONSIBLE GUN INDUSTRY Rachana Bhowmik* INTRODUCTION Imagine an industry that manufactures products responsible for the death and injury of thousands of Americans. These products are distributed through a system in which no party— neither the dealer, the distributor nor the manufacturer—takes responsibility or is held liable for the negligent sale of the product. The same distribution system guarantees that the product flows through the market to individuals that society has deemed unfit to possess and use such products. Despite the high number of deaths and injuries caused by the product, the manufacturers do not utilize reasonably available safety devices that would prevent accidental deaths and injuries, because there is no federal agency with authority to mandate such safety devices. Moreover, the manufacturers assume they will not be held liable under common law tort principles, so they continue to conduct business while innocent Americans continue to die from the foreseeable negligent use of the product.
