In a decision just issued in County of Butler, et al. v. Governor Wolf, et al., Judge William Stickman, IV of the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania has ruled that “(1) the congregate gathering limits imposed by Defendants’ mitigation orders violate the right of assembly enshrined in the First Amendment; (2) that the stay-at-home and business closure components of Defendants’ orders violate the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment; and (3) the business closure components of the Defendants’ orders violate the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.
Please join us in congratulating Judge Stickman, IV in upholding his oath of office to support and defend the US Constitution.

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).

He was never able to make these restrictions. He can only make restrictions for disasters that are “man made” so to speak. Not emergencies that are part of nature .
Notice Sweden fell off the media coverage. They reached herd immunity. Same with this shut down. It only delayed the on set of herd immunity. In 1969 we had the Hong Kong flu pandemic. 400,000 young people attended the Woodstock Rock Festival. No shut down of the economy nor any contact tracing . No media coverage on the pandemic.
You probably are referring to an “Assault Rifle”. The anti gun groups don’t use the term “assault weapon” Anyhow it’s a rifle that is able to be fired on either automatic or semi automatic. for example the M-16. The AR-15 can only be fired semi automatic.so is not an assault weapon. With regards to prohibitive offensive weapons, the Pa. code has a list of them.
Now what about the insane mask mandates…Can we the people sue to overturn that? As a medical professional these are no backed by any legitimate science.
Hope to see the mask mandate found unconstitutional too.. They dont really work,,, They work if in your mind you believe they do….. Hope that both Richard levine and Rom Wolf are held and found guilty of killing innocen t people due to Levine’s decision to pull his mother out of the nursing home and sent sick people in to those same nu It really wasnt the Governor laying down the restrictions Levine did and Wolf agreed because he didn t have a set of balls to do it himself. Just my opinion

The question is, will Wolf obey the court? He thinks he is King in PA.

What is the definition of an Assault Weapon, and can that definition be expanded to include any weapon you have been assaulted with?
