The construction of this tweet makes it seem like you want people who buy AR-15s (the most popular rifle in the country) to be in jail. Is that your intention, Governor?

The formulation of his tweet is that we should release weed users from jail and replace them with AR owners (or at least ones who buy through private sales) instead. It's a bizarre tweet.
Of course, Wolf supports more than just universal background checks. He has publicly said Pennsylvania should "restrict or eliminate semi-automatic weapons" which represent the vast majority of most commonly available firearms. audacy.com/kdkaradio/arti…
Wolf, like the interviewers who asked the question, appears to be completely clueless about what a "semi-automatic weapon" is but his publicly stated position is among the most radical ones out there.
Also, there is no "private sale loophole." Federal law was specifically designed and created to regulate commercial sales. This is like saying everyone who sells their used car is exploiting a "loophole" because they aren't subject to the same regulations as commercial dealers.
