As long as it’s control
The useless solution of limiting handgun sales to one gun per month was recommended to the PA governor:
State Rep. W. Curtis Thomas, who also participated in the news conference, said the unlimited sale of handguns in Pennsylvania feeds a voracious underground market for illegal weapons used to commit crimes.
“This is about whether or not somebody should have the ability to buy 25 guns a month who knowingly … then put those 25 guns in a stream of commerce in a way that they know is going to end up in death or permanent injury,” the Philadelphia Democrat said.
“This is about choosing life over death, choosing peace over a society where people do not feel safe,” he said.
Do they really think a gun-toting criminal gets their gun from a local gun shop?

I believe that elsewhere in the article it states that Rendell ran on this idea back in 2002, but that he hasn’t pushed it because he knows it’s a non-starter in the legislature.
