Pittsburgh Mayor Bill Peduto pushing for bans on assault weapons and more.

I’m very surprised they didn’t attack concealed or open carry in this since they already appear to be going for broke. I guess they feel that adding that might loose the support of the Fudds who need to carry their trusty ole 6 shooters.

I'll bet that open carry is in one of their crosshairs.

Yeah I guess when shitting on people’s state and federal constitutional rights with illegal ordinances one needs to tread lightly and save some for the next guy.

All PA House Reps and Senators are home (in their district) now until Jan 1. After that they are almost always in their districts every Thurs & Fr.

Every gun owner should make an appointment to go see their Rep & Senator and tell them no 'new gun controls' or the gun owner community will march on their offices.

If you don't know who your reps are, check here based on your home address: https://www.legis.state.pa.us/cfdocs...lator/#address

Sadly my guys are Wheatley and Fontana. One only cares about your issues if you're black, and the other one is part of leading this charge.

GOVERNOR WOLF AND PITTSBURGH CITY COUNCIL CONSPIRE WITH ANTI-GUN ORGANIZATIONS TO VIOLATE THE LAW AND PA CONSTITUTION

Posted on December 15, 2018 by Joshua Prince, Esq.

Yesterday, Governor Wolf and members of the Pittsburgh City Council held a press conference, joined by anti-gun organizations, including Moms Demand Action and CeaseFirePA, where they proposed new anti-gun ordinances, which they even acknowledged are precluded by state law but undaunted by the illegality of such proposals, were going to enact them anyway, in a hope that the courts would elect to usurp the General Assembly’s authority.

Governor Wolf even issues a press release, with the proposal’s attached.

Since 1974, local forms of government have been preempted in Pennsylvania from enacting firearm (and later, ammunition) restrictions or regulation, pursuant to 18 Pa.C.S. 6120. Moreover, since its enactment in 1974, it has been a misdemeanor of the first degree, pursuant to 18 PA.C.S. 6119, for any local government to violate the state preemption statute.

In fact, an almost identical assault weapon ordinance was previously held unlawful by the Commonwealth Court in NRA v. City of Philadelphia.

More recently, I was successful in having the Commonwealth Court declare that the City of Erie was precluded from banning firearms in public parks and that Lower Merion Township was barred from enacting a firearm discharge ordinance.

Thus, there can be no dispute that the enactment of these proposed ordinances have already been ruled unlawful, pursuant to Article 1, Section 21 of the Pennsylvania Constitution and 18 Pa.C.S. 6120.

Yet, that has not dissuaded the Governor and Members of the Pittsburgh City Council from conspiring to enact unlawful ordinances, which would additionally constitute a violation of 18 PA.C.S. 5301 – Official Oppression, as well as, the inchoate offenses of solicitation, conspiracy and attempt. Section 5301 provides:

A person acting or purporting to act in an official capacity or taking advantage of such actual or purported capacity commits a misdemeanor of the second degree if, knowing that his conduct is illegal, he:
(1) subjects another to arrest, detention, search, seizure, mistreatment, dispossession, assessment, lien or other infringement of personal or property rights;
or
(2) denies or impedes another in the exercise or enjoyment of any right, privilege, power or immunity.


Setting aside the criminal conduct of Governor Wolf and Members of the Pittsburgh City Council, it is extremely interesting that Governor Wolf is supporting these proposals, which include requiring photo identification to be produced for the purchase of ammunition, when the Governor opposes voters having to produce any form of photo identification.

Unfortunately, as neither the Governor nor Members of the Pittsburgh City Council seem to care about their blatant violation of the Pennsylvania Crimes Code, given their stated intent to enact these proposals, it appears that it will become necessary to file suit against them.

Thankfully, Allegheny County Sportsmen’s League (ACSL) and Firearm Owners Against Crime (FOAC) are already preparing to file suit against the City of Pittsburgh; however, given the backing that the City has from Moms Demand Action, CeaseFirePA..etc., it is anticipated that this litigation will be extremely expensive.

I believe Wolf already locked that down with his phony Emergency Declaration on opiods. That was intended to block open carry without a LTCF and he has done so.

This makes both Harrisburg and Pittsburgh massive crime scenes.

Agreed. Put it up please.

Yeah Fontana is my guy too. He's gun grabber #1 in the state senate. Such a shifty scum bag.

What law enforcement office do we need to contact to have the mayor and city council arrested? The state police? It's a crime to violate state preemption and I want them to pay for their hubris.

Peduto now mocking Stolfer on Facebook.

Peduto seems like the kind of guy who as a kid had his head dunked in toilets, to be given swirlies or had his underwear yanked up, a wedgie.

He never forgot those indignities. He probably imagines that he's getting pay back on the "red necks" who hurt him.

In reality, he is one of those red necks. He is the bully. What's worse, he won't bully any in person. He sends police after them with guns and badges.
