Some items included in Democrat Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro’s proposed budget have gun-rights activists crying foul.
Pennsylvania representatives with Gun Owners of America (GOA) are calling attention to two particular items in the budget, the first being a proposed $1 million to fund an Office of Gun Violence Prevention within the Pennsylvania Commission for Crime and Delinquency.
“This office would be nothing more than a propaganda machine to justify more calls for gun control through legislative advocacy,” Dr. Val Finnell, PA-GOA director, wrote in a state alert.
The other proposal Dr. Finnell pointed out in the alert is doubling the funding for the Pennsylvania Instant Check System (PICS) to $8.9 million, which would likely result in expanded bureaucracy that would quickly outpace the funding.
