In 2006 federal Judge Sanchez issued an opinion and order invalidating the SSN disclosure requirement in the PA Uniform Firearms Act as the requirement pertains to background checks to buy guns from dealers, or apply for a License to Carry Firarms from County Sheriifs and the Police Chief of Philadelphia. Stollenwerk v. Miller[/i], 2006 WL 463393, (E.D. Pa. 2006)(Pennsylvania statute requiring persons to disclose an SSN to buy a gun or obtain a gun carry license violates Section 7 of the Federal Privacy Act), available at [url]http://www.paed.uscourts.gov/documents/opinions/06D0225P.pdf[/url]
The PSP filed two somehat flippant motions to alter judgement with Judge Sanchez, prompting him to issue a supplemental order requiring the PSP to provide Section 7(b) Federal Privacy Act warnings to prospective gun buyers and License to Carry Firearms applicants.
So the PSP appealed to the 3d Circuit, the appeal was sent to mediation, and in FEB, 2007, the PSP agreed to, and Judge Sanchez signed an order which merely modified the verbiage in the 2d order (see attached).
So now the case is final - but where are the PSP's SSN wanrings to gun buyers and LTCF applicants? And why do anti-gun PA legislators propose more gun control schemes that violate federal SSN privacy law? See [url]http://tinyurl.com/2monef[/url].
PA gun owners need to rise up now and demand that their gun dealers and Sheriffs follow the law, even if the PSP won't.
