PA Senate Judiciary Hearings – The Who, What, Where and When, Including the Testimony

Posted on by Joshua Prince, Esq.

Today, Senator, and Chairwoman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Lisa Baker, posted on her website the written testimony submitted for the upcoming Judiciary Committee hearings on September 24th and 25th regarding Mental and Behavioral Health, Second Amendment and Other Gun Related Issues. The testimony for September 24th can be found here and the testimony for September 25th can be found here – simply click the name of the person to download their testimony. If there is no hyperlink relative to their name, they have not yet submitted testimony and you should check back for new submissions.

The schedule for oral testimony on the 24th can be downloaded here and the schedule for oral testimony on the 25th can be downloaded here.

For those anxiously awaiting my testimony, although it is linked on Senator Baker’s page, it does not include the extremely important Exhibits to my testimony. Accordingly, you can find a copy of my testimony here and the exhibits to my testimony here. As you will quickly ascertain, I have spent a significant amount of time in researching and drafting my testimony, especially in relation to the section on psychotropic and Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor (SSRI) drugs. PLEASE, if you ONLY read one thing, read Exhibit C – The Declaration of Peter R. Breggin, M.D. from 2001. If that doesn’t place the fear of God into you regarding SSRI drugs – and that’s what he knew almost 20 years ago – nothing will.

Given the amount of time I’ve spent researching and drafting my testimony, any donations in support would be greatly appreciated. Anyone wishing to donate can:

  • Pay via the secure website: Civil Rights Defense Firm, P.C. – Please place “Senate Judiciary Testimony” in the reference field, or
  • Mail donations to: Civil Rights Defense Firm, P.C., 646 Lenape Rd, Bechtelsville, PA 19505 and include a note or letter stating that it is in relation to Senate Judiciary Testimony”.

With our 2nd Amendment rights being attacked at both the Federal and State level, and the ATF (Burea of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives) trying to close down FFLs (Federal Firearms Licensees) for minor infractions while making FFLs the scapegoat when the ATF's records are inaccurate, I want to take this opportunity to introduce myself. I am one of only a handful of attorneys across the US that practices in the niche area of law known as firearms law. I decided to concentrate my legal practice on firearms law not only because I am a shooter and firearms enthusiast, but also to ensure that our inalienable Right to Keep and Bear Arms is never encroached upon. I handle cases at the Federal and State level for both FFLs and individuals. At the federal and state levels for individuals, I actively defend the 2nd Amendment of the US Constitution and Section 21 of the PA Constitution, as well as, help individuals with: - License to Carry Firearms Denials; - Challenges to Erroneous PICS Denials; - Relief from Firearms Disabilities; - Estate Planning Advice; - Gun/NFA Trusts; and - 42 USC 1983 Actions for Deprivation of Civil Rights At both the state and federal levels, I represent FFLs and SOTs throughout Pennsylvania and the US regarding: - ATF Compliance Inspections; - Warning Letters and Hearings; - FFL Revocations; - Corporate Structure Advice - Indoor/Outdoor Range Implementation; and - Forfeiture Proceedings In following my love for firearms and firearms law, I have taught several Continuing Legal Education (CLE) seminars on Firearms in Estates and Trusts and Firearms Law 101 for several Bar Associations, including Berks, Cumberland, and Dauphin Counties. I also planned and taught several Firearms in Estates CLE classes for the Pennsylvania Bar Institute (PBI). While at Widener Law School, I was a member of the Widener Law Journal. I wrote an article on the Inaccuracy of the National Firearms Registration and Transfer Record (NFRTR). I also had an article published on Fee Disputes in Workers Compensation cases in the Widener Law Journal, Volume 18, No. 2. You can often find me posting on several internet forums, including Subguns, Uzitalk, AR15, and PAFOA. I also hold PA Firearms Law classes for local ranges to inform the public on the firearm laws of the Commonwealth. Following in my father's footsteps, I am also a Board member for the Pottstown Police Athletic League (PAL).

One thought on “PA Senate Judiciary Hearings – The Who, What, Where and When, Including the Testimony”

  1. Let’s hope Senator Baker, committee chair, doesn’t cut off important pro-2nd Amendment testimony tomorrow, like she did with Dr. John Lott and Dr. Gallo today, because the hearing ran out of time. Most unfair. Dr. Lott, in particular, is a vast resource of information that informs against the baseless bigotry of the gun-hating left, information that we should insist our legislators hear. Her website contact form is https://www.senatorbaker.com/contact-me-2/
    Let her know we want all sides to be fully heard.
    And please contribute to Mr. Prince’s efforts !
