State lawmakers propose six gun control bills ahead of 2025 legislative session


(The Center Square) – In less than two weeks, state legislators will convene for the 2025 legislative session, taking action on hundreds of bills, six of which they have already proposed around gun control.

There’s still plenty of time to propose more throughout the 105-day session, but three have come out of the state House of Representatives, with three more from the Senate. Democrats are behind all but two, with a Republican from each chamber floating their own.

Proponents say the bills could reduce gun violence and protect public safety, while critics might call them an overreach, further impeding their constitutional rights. The blue majority has passed numerous gun control measures over the past few years and will likely continue.
