Pa. Liability insurance ?it's all about money. gun ownership is a right NOT a privilege like driving .It may be wise move to purchase, but on a voluntary basis. not made into law.

The bill would also institute a federal universal background check' law

I doubt that will go very far. There is a reason the Brady Act only applies to dealers and states have their own laws regarding transfers between non dealers. Something to do with the Commerce Clause of the Constitution.

Here's the latest batch of new bills from around the country set to be debated

IL

HB5939 would ban guns that aren't detectable by metal detectors, something that is already illegal under federal law

HR1197 is a resolution condemning the counties that have declared themselves 'firearm sanctuary counties'

NJ

ACR185 urges congress to pass the 'Lawful Transportation of Firearms Act' that is currently in the house

S09145 is another 'ghost gun' bill

PA

HB2597 is another 'feel good' bill requiring anyone that has firearms and lives with someone that is prohibited to keep them locked up. What they don't tell you is people that live with prohibited persons can not keep their firearms in the home under current law.

HB2598 would require all firearms to be locked up when not in use

HB2599 would require all gun owners to report any stolen firearm within 24 hours of discovering the loss but it goes further by making the person civilly liable for damages if the stolen firearm is used in a crime

https://amgoa.org/Proposed-State-Gun-Legislation

US Congress

HB6624 would allow firearm dealers to sell handguns to visiting non-residents provided the sale would be legal in the state the non-resident lives in

HB6629 is another extortion bill offering money to states to take away firearms from anyone convicted of abuse or under a PFA

HB6649 would outlaw all 3D printed firearms and plans and any firearm receiver (no matter what stage of being finished) that doesn't have a serial number

HB6654 would make it illegal to transfer a firearm at a gun show by anyone except a licensed dealer

SB3300 would basically outlaw 80% receivers and any other 'untraceable' firearm part

SB3304 would make it illegal to distribute plans for 3D printable firearms

HB6649 would outlaw all 3D printed firearms and plans and any firearm receiver (no matter what stage of being finished) that doesn't have a serial number

That would make any block of metal (and potentially plastic, wood?, resin & fiberglass/carbon-fiber? ) that is larger than the smallest firearms receiver/frame illegal. Sounds like a winner to me. And people wonder why having congresscritters who know nothing about guns make gun laws bothers most of us. The worst part is that many of them are actively ignorant about guns. They're proud of the fact that they're clueless, although they would probably describe it differently.
