I am sorry to inform you that State Representative Frank Burns voted against Constitutional Carry on the Pennsylvania House floor, causing GOA to revoke his previous endorsement.

As previously alerted, Rep. Aaron Bernstine (R-8) brought up an amendment that would have allowed a floor vote on Constitutional Carry. The amendment was quickly ruled out of order by anti-gun Speaker Joanna McClinton (D-143), but that didn’t stop Rep. Bernstine.

Rep. Bernstine then initiated a vote to “appeal the ruling of the chair,” a procedural move that recorded the entire House’s stance on Constitutional Carry. Berstine’s motion was defeated 102-101, entirely along party lines. All Democrats voted against Constitutional Carry and all Republicans voted in favor of it.

That’s right! It all came down to ONE vote to have Constitutional Carry heard on the House floor, and the person responsible for the motion’s defeat was Frank Burns.

I am flabbergasted by Rep. Burns’ betrayal. Frank Burns previously voted for Constitutional Carry and against other anti-gun bills. His record was better than some Republicans!

But now, Frank Burns has erased his previous pro-gun track record, putting partisan politics over your Article 1, Section 21 rights. By siding with the anti-gun Democratic caucus, Rep. Burns has shown that loyalty to his party is more important than your God-given rights.

And let’s be clear about one thing: Frank Burns was the only pro-gun Democrat left in the entire House caucus and maybe the entire PA General Assembly. And now it appears he has parted ways and is siding with radical, anti-gun Philadelphia Democrats to violate your constitutionally-protected rights.

As one of Frank Burns’ constituents, you should feel outraged! I know that I am left shocked and dismayed.

Rest assured, this is not a partisan move by GOA, either. GOA holds ALL legislators accountable, regardless of their party affiliation. We have repeatedly called out Republicans who have voted for gun control, including nine Republican legislators who voted for Universal Registration Checks and Red Flag Gun Confiscation Orders last session. The only thing that matters is how legislators vote on our constitutionally-protected rights.

So, please take a moment to send a message to Rep. Frank Burns (by using the form above) to express your displeasure regarding his vote against Constitutional Carry.
