I wish I had gotten a picture of the rally in full swing, but it was in the middle of the debate, and while one of the Philadelphia reps made a motion to take a break so they could attend, there were groans from the rest of the house and it got shot down. The speaker told her she could feel free to attend if she wanted to, but they would not take a break for the rally. By the time I got outside, it wasn’t as highly organized.
The session is actually continuing until today, and a lot of the anti-gun measures were at the end, but given how the ones at the beginning fared, I’m not too worried about the other ones. Some of the other pro-gun guys there were worried about the high level of turnover in next year’s legislature, but both my rep, Matt Wright, and Rep. Shapiro both seemed to indicate that they didn’t think the elections were going to change much with regards to the PA legislature’s attitude about guns.
