  • Terry Rumsey, co-chair of the Delco United for Sensible Gun Policy, said gun control advocates are confident that a universal background check would pass the General Assembly if such a bill ever reached the floor of the House or Senate. His reasoning? The vast majority of Pennsylvanians support expanded background checks.

  • Rumsey pointed a report issued by the Brady Campaign to Prevent Handgun Violence, which found that more than 2.1 million illegal firearms sales have been stopped since the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act was enacted.
    
    “We know that background checks work,” Rumsey said.

  
  
  • Since most people like to be with the majority and most people don't like the idea of illegal gun sales, care about those anti-gun messages.
  
  
• Pro-gun --
  
  

  • “Our view is very strongly that background checks and things are just incremental steps toward gun banning,” Wolfe said.

  • “We have the history of the United Kingdom to show us where that leads to. ... You basically can’t buy a handgun over there.”

  
  
  • How many non-gun owners care? Many people really do want guns banned, or at least aren't terribly worried about the possibility of that happening. Some people would be delighted if handguns weren't available here, or at least aren't terribly worried about the possibility of that happening.
    
    
  • But even worse, Darren Wolfe, in his statements, confirmed for those folks who wouldn't care about guns being banned that what Terry Rumsey and his minions are doing could produce a result those folks would like. In other words, Darren has effectively encouraged anyone even mildly anti-gun to support Terry Rumsey.
