Mayor Nutter Signs Bold New Gun Legislation
PHILADELPHIA (CBS 3) ―
Philadelphia City Council passed five new gun laws Thursday without state approval. Mayor Nutter signed them and ordered enforcement during an afternoon news conference in front of the evidence rooms where seized guns are held.

"Enough is enough. We've had enough. We've stood for enough and today we're taking direction action to make this city safe," said Mayor Nutter at the conference.

Mayor Nutter took an unusual step of ordering immediate enforcement of the bills only hours after City Council passed them. The measures, approved unanimously, include a limit on handgun purchases to one per month and a requirement that any lost or stolen gun be reported to police. It also includes a ban on certain assault weapons and would allow police to confiscate guns from any person an officer considers to be a risk to themselves or others. The laws also include a prohibition of guns to people with Protection From Abuse orders.

"Month after month and year after year we are called out to the general assembly to help us. We have petitioned our government, but our pleas have been ignored. That brings us to today's historic action by Philadelphia City Council. I plaud the council for passing the five bills that make the modest start on reigning in the madness running rampant in our streets," said Mayor Nutter.

All five of the new gun bills go into effect immediately.

Councilman Darrell Clarke is the sponsor of the bill and said enforcing gun laws without Harrisburg is a vital step. It's already turning out to be a controversial one.

Some state lawmakers have already weighed in one these new regulations and one Philadelphia State Rep. believes they will never hold up in court.

"Anybody locked up under those five bills today that the mayor said he is going to sign will ask their lawyers to throw it out on the basis that it is unconstitutional, said Rep. John Perzel.

Center City lawyer, Fortunato Perri believes these laws won't stick because they defy state laws.

"As soon as someone is charged with an offense under this provision it will be taken directly into appeal and it will be reversed because it is unconstitutional," said Perri.

Wow. So, they expect CRIMINALS to follow these new laws, yet the city council and the FREAKING MAYOR are not following the law themselves. I'm chest deep in irony, someone throw me a line.
