Rally Brings Gun Rights Advocates To State Capitol

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) – A few hundred people brought their support for gun rights to the steps of the Pennsylvania Capitol building for what is an annual rally. Tuesday’s gathering constituted a pep rally, provided an update on the gun lobby’s legislative efforts and opposition, and gave participants an opportunity to target Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf and other political opponents. áOrganizers said rainy weather and the pandemic may have kept down attendance. Cease Fire PA, which advocates to reduce the harm done by firearms, says about 1,600 people have been killed by guns in Pennsylvania in the past year.
