Does Lower Providence Supervisor Duffy Want You To Be A Victim?

On March 19th, the Lower Providence Board of Supervisors voted in favor of repealing its illegal anti-firearms ordinances and to bring the Township’s Code into compliance with State law. 

Every Supervisor voted in favor of repealing this law, and I thank everyone of you for doing the right thing and following the law, but one disgruntled Supervisor named Patrick T. Duffy had this to say, "I am not thrilled that we have to change our laws to allow firearms in Township parks...I don't think we have any choice, because of what the legislators did to us".

Mr Duffy took an oath to the Constitution, and it seems like he clearly has a problem with the part where it talks about our right to bear arms.

The Constitution of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania specifically says, "The right of the citizens to bear arms in defense of themselves and the State SHALL NOT BE QUESTIONED". (Article 1, Section 21)

Mr Duffy. Since we protect our president, vice president, governors, senators, judges, banks, hospitals, office buildings and jewelry stores with armed guards, why does it make sense to protect ourselves and our children with a small sign that says, “This Is a Gun Free Zone” – and then hope that someone with a gun can get there quickly if there’s an emergency? Why is it so hard for some people such as yourself to understand that we do have a basic right to be able to protect ourselves and our children?

We all have a inherent constitutional right to keep and bear arms, and that universal right extends to being able to protect ourselves, and especially our small children in taxpayer-owned parks. Not to mention how many thefts, assaults, rapes, and murders happen in parks all across America.

As Americans, let’s come together, rise above the rhetoric, and actually do something positive that protects ourselves and our children.

Send a message to Supervisor Duffy, and let him know that our rights are non-negotiable!
