The bill represents a strategic move towards punishing misuse rather than banning items, aligning with constitutional principles and historical firearm regulation.

The Supreme Court denied an emergency request to stay a Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruling that mandated the counting of provisional ballots for voters whose mail-in ballots were deemed invalid.
