Pennsylvania’s House just handed gun owners a gut punch: HB 1909, the so-called Protection From Abuse expansion bill, squeaked through on a 104-94 vote, with five RINOs—Sheryl Delozier, Natalie Mihalek, Brenda Pugh, K.C. Tomlinson, and Martina White—betraying their own party to side with anti-2A Democrats. This isn’t about protecting victims; it’s a blatant weaponization of PFA orders to strip law-abiding citizens of their Second Amendment rights without due process. Under this bill, a temporary PFA—often granted ex parte based on one-sided accusations—could ban firearm possession for up to a year, no conviction required, no hearing guaranteed. It’s red-flag law lite, dressed up in domestic violence rhetoric, and it sets a dangerous precedent for eroding constitutional protections under the guise of safety.

Context matters here: Pennsylvania’s PFAs already allow judges to restrict guns in abuse cases, but HB 1909 supercharges that by mandating automatic surrender of all firearms, ammo, and even concealed carry permits upon issuance. This echoes national pushes like Biden’s zero tolerance policies, where false or exaggerated claims become a backdoor confiscation tool. Remember Virginia’s 2020 red-flag fiasco or New York’s endless PFA expansions? Same playbook. Those five Republican defectors aren’t outliers; they’re symptoms of establishment pressure from groups like Everytown, who flooded the Keystone State with dark money post-2024 elections. Primary them—Delozier’s in a safe district, but Mihalek and Tomlinson face real 2A fire next cycle.

Now it heads to the Senate, where pro-2A warriors like Kim Ward hold the line, but the clock’s ticking before Shapiro’s desk. 2A community, this is mobilization time: flood your senators via PA Firearm Owners Association alerts, hit the phones, and pack committee hearings. If it passes, expect copycats in swing states—implications ripple nationwide, turning civil disputes into felony gun grabs. Stand firm; our rights aren’t negotiable.
