HARRISBURG – The PA House Judiciary Committee advanced a package of bills aimed at reducing gun violence. House Bill 1099 prohibits the manufacture, sale, or possession of undetectable firearms, including 3D-printed weapons and those without serial numbers. House Bill 1593 closes loopholes by requiring background checks for all firearm purchases, including long guns. House Bill 1859 creates “Red Flag Laws” allowing courts to temporarily restrict access to firearms for individuals in crisis. And House Bill 1866 bans devices that convert semi-automatic firearms into machine guns, such as Glock switches. The bills now go to the full PA House for consideration.
