Re: Pittsburgh Mayor Bill Peduto pushing for bans on assault weapons and more.
Last time I walked by a Dick's at a strop mall (didn't go in...I was headed to Christmas Tree Shoppes next door), I noticed a sign on their front door asking customers to "Check all firearms with an employee".
So they want costumers to handle and possibly unholster and clear your firearms in a crowded public place and remove them from your possession, and hand them to an untrained minimum wage kid who may not even be 21, who likely hasn't passed a 4473 firearms background check or even a regular criminal background check...
...and they get a safety award?
Thankfully the closest Dick's to me put up this sign too.

Hey..... Mike Bloomberg gave the city $2,500,000 as part of the "green cities initiative". Doubtless Hizzonor is beshatting money onto Bicycle Bob's future in politics.
If he "strikes a blow for gun safety" Mike might help him become governor. He'll build his career on the wreckage of our rights.

Re: Pittsburgh Mayor Bill Peduto pushing for bans on assault weapons and more.
Here's an update on the four city residents who sued Zappala. This is a separate case than the Joshua Prince lawsuit where the ordinances were thrown out.
Appeal by gun owners over city ordinances moved to Commonwealth Court

The Pennsylvania Superior Court on Wednesday moved an appeal from four gun owners pursuing criminal complaints against Pittsburgh leaders who last year passed gun control ordinances to the Commonwealth Court.
A five-page opinion from the court states jurisdiction over the case lies with the Commonwealth Court because the gun owners are seeking to compel Allegheny County District Attorney Stephen A. Zappala Jr., “acting in his official capacity,” to accept the criminal complaints.
“As we have long stated, ‘we should be most cautious in assuming jurisdiction over matters that properly belong before the Commonwealth Court,’” the opinion states, citing a 1987 opinion.
The three gun control bills were signed last year by Mayor Bill Peduto in the wake of the October 2018 mass shooting at the Tree of Life synagogue in Squirrel Hill. They would ban use of assault-style weapons and accessories at public places within city limits.
City wants state appellate court to reconsider gun ordinance decision
The ordinances would also allow the courts to temporarily seize weapons from those threatening to harm themselves or others..
The gun owners, all Pittsburgh residents, originally sought to file criminal complaints against Mr. Peduto and members of City Council for passing the gun control ordinances. The plaintiffs alleged the passage of the laws constituted official oppression under Pennsylvania law.
The district attorney refused to accept the complaints; the gun owners sued Mr. Zappala in Common Pleas Court, saying he was violating his official duties as DA by rebuffing them.
In October 2019, the trial court granted Mr. Zappala’s preliminary objection and dismissed the suit with prejudice. The plaintiffs then filed an appeal to the Superior Court.
The plaintiffs are Mary Konieczny of South Side Flats; Anthony J. Golembiewski of Lawrenceville; Christopher W. Humphrey of Stanton Heights; and Therese Thompson-Miles of Brookline.
The gun control ordinances have faced a number of legal challenges, including lawsuits backed by the National Rifle Association, and cannot currently be enforced because a Common Pleas judge ruled only the state can regulate firarms.
In late April, attorneys for the city of Pittsburgh asked Commonwealth Court to reinstate the firearms ordinances.
