PA House Set to Vote on Electronic Gun Registry

The anti-gun Democrats never stop! On Wednesday, November 12th, the House Judiciary Committee voted 14 to 12, strictly along party lines, to advance a dangerous bill to the House floor—possibly as soon as next week—that would create an electronic gun registry in Pennsylvania!

Sneaky Democrats, led by Chairman Briggs, added an amendment to try and cover their tracks—an amendment that simply reaffirms what’s already true: that creating a registry is illegal. Meanwhile, they are voting to do exactly that. We will not be fooled.

HB 1891 (Bellmon) will set up all the conditions necessary for the Pennsylvania State Police to enhance their so-called “Record of Sale” system which is nothing more than a backdoor gun registry.

Gun owners across Pennsylvania are not deceived by the rhetoric claiming that the Pennsylvania State Police “Firearm Application/Record of Sale” form (SP4-113) is not a handgun registry. We know better. And HB 1891 would allow the efficient collection of any additional data the government would decide to ask for at the point of sale using this electronic form.

If that wasn’t bad enough, the Democrats already passed Universal Background Check legislation in the House. If that bill and HB 1891 were signed into law, all firearms transactions in Pennsylvania would be electronically centralized and stored by the Pennsylvania State Police.

Make no mistake, the House Democrats are implementing Bloomberg’s agenda to register and track all firearms sales in Pennsylvania. And history informs us that when guns are registered, confiscation eventually occurs.

And this isn’t the first attempt to establish an electronic gun registry. In 2024, GOA members defeated a similar bill on the House floor. We can do so again if all gun owners take action.

That’s why I need you to send a message to your state representative right away, using the form above urging them to vote AGAINST HB 1891. Let’s defeat the electronic gun registry bill once more.
