Gunning for the criminals

Maybe the state House is catching on.

Just a week after shooting down a gun control amendment looking to rein in illegal “straw” purchases of guns, the chamber turned around yesterday and unanimously passed another gun control measure.

Last week we chided House Speaker Dennis O’Brien, R-Phila., for his vote against the measure, seemingly unthinkable for someone who represents a city being savaged by illegal guns.

To his credit, O’Brien was back leading the charge yesterday.

O’Brien insisted he had opposed last week’s measure because of his belief that it could lead to criminal charges being filed against innocent gun owners.

Kudos to the House. It’s about time. Every poll we’ve seen shows overwhelming support for these kind of common sense gun proposals.

We’re not interested in limiting anyone’s gun rights. We just want to make our streets a little safe. And save lives.

This measure will help that process.
