Fyi Tom Corbett has gotten more reciprocity agreements with other states than the last three Attorneys General combined ever did for us.

Also unlike most of the 67 DA in PA Tom Corbett ACTUALLY goes after the criminals for their actions and not the hardware used in crimes.

If the DA clown quoted in article every gets elected to higher office look out PA gun owners, its going to get rough real quick for US.

Morganelli Pushes For Gun Regulation
05/07/2008

Philadelphia - Northampton County District Attorney John Morganelli, a Democratic candidate for Pennsylvania attorney general, attacked his incumbent opponent yesterday as too lax on gun regulation.


Mr. Morganelli said that Republican Attorney General Tom Corbett should issue a regulatory order mandating gun owners who discover their weapons lost or stolen to report them as such within 48 to 72 hours of the losses. He expressed displeasure that Mr. Corbett has not done so.

"One of the most serious public safety issues facing all of our communities, death by gunfire, has been all but ignored by the current attorney general," Mr. Morganelli said. "While the Pennsylvania legislature, Gov. Rendell, mayors of our communities and law enforcement organizations like the Pennsylvania State Police, the Pennsylvania Chiefs of Police Association and individual police departments and officers strive to address this issue, Attorney General Corbett sits on the sidelines conspicuously absent from the debate."

The shooting death of Philadelphia police Sgt. Stephen Liczbinski on Saturday has elicited increased calls for action from gun control advocates. Mr. Morganelli also pointed out that handgun murders involving children occur more often annually in Pennsylvania than in 44 other states and that 1,200 people die annually in Pennsylvania from gunfire.

The Northampton prosecutor said that the state attorney general does not need legislative approval to require Pennsylvania gun owners to report their missing weapons or to mandate gun merchants to inform their customers that they cannot permit their guns' use by anyone not legally authorized to possess a firearm. He believes a Pennsylvania statute stating the "attorney general may adopt, after public hearing, such rules and regulations as may be necessary for the enforcement and administration of the Unfair Trade Practices and Consumer Protection Law (UTPCPL)" gives Mr. Corbett the necessary leeway to impose the aforesaid regulations.

The attorney general disagrees with that interpretation of consumer protection law and expressed, through a spokesman, bewilderment that Mr. Morganelli could accuse him of neglecting gun violence.

"I guess John Morganelli must have been living in another state for the last 17 months," said attorney general spokesman Kevin Harley. He said Mr. Corbett has done more than any past Pennsylvania attorney general to reduce gun violence, citing his formation of the Philadelphia Gun Violence Task Force, which has aggressively pursued straw purchasers. It has resulted in 158 arrests, more than 200 weapon seizures and over 500 ongoing investigations.

Democrats are a two issue party. Raise taxes and take guns.

Thank God those dolts don't mix taxes and guns like that commercial for Reese's peanut butter cups where two people mixed chocolate and peanut butter accidentally.

You don`t want Morganelli from Northampton County. I know a lot of cops that have nothing good to say about him. Arrogant/ self serving.
