Here’s a preview of the federal races that Pennsylvania gun owners need to be watching as we inch closer to primary & general elections.
Unfortunately, some local governments show why they cannot be trusted to treat gun owners fairly – or even treat them legally within the bounds of their own power. We did a little digging into an ordinance in Bucks County to show why we need strong preemption.

Though today’s headlines will focus on the presidential race, gun owners around Pennsylvania were watching many other races around the Commonwealth last night. Here’s a look at how those turned out.
