Simply check the Pennsylvania Constitution: "The right of the citizens to bear arms in defence of themselves and the State shall not be questioned. Art. 1, § 21"

This is not about PA lawmakers disobeying Federal laws. It is about a Federal intrusion on our Commonwealth which tramples on Pennsylvania's Constitution. If folks don't like the Pennsylvania Constitution, it can be amended. But our Pennsylvania Constitution cannot be ignored and steamrollered by a Federal Government that seems to be growing more powerful by the day.
