For supporters of "red flag" and universal background check bills, the uphill battle continues in the Pennsylvania Legislature. Those issues were not among the dozen-plus weapons-related bills approved by a key state House committee Tuesday, and the panel's chairman says he does not intend to take up more gun measures anytime soon.
Among the gun bills approved by the state House Judiciary Committee was one that would require a person involuntarily committed for inpatient mental health treatment to relinquish their guns within 48 hours of release. But another bill would reinstate a law intended to thwart municipal gun laws that was struck down on a technicality.
