HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Organizers warned at an annual gun rights rally at the Pennsylvania Capitol on Monday that with a slim Democratic majority in the House, there could be more attempts to pass gun control measures, weeks after they narrowly advanced the first gun control legislation in years that Republicans criticized as attempts to “dwindle away at our Second Amendment rights.” One of the event’s organizers, Rep. Abby Major, a Republican from Armstrong County, says that gun rights supporters find themselves at a disadvantage with Democrats empowered by a one-vote majority in the House.
