Allegheny County DA warns Pittsburgh council could face charges over gun restrictions

[VooDoo1VooDoo1]

Waaay back when the DA at the time in Philly told city council she wouldn't enforce any of their illegal gun ordinances.

It really shouldn't be a WOW moment, being sworn to uphold the law and all, but it always is when one of them has the guts to do so.

.

Now don't anybody go getting a swelled head over this. Mr. Zappala is the highest ranking LEO in the city of Pittsburgh, but there is no danger in him virtue signaling here. The rubber is not even close to hitting the road, and I am sure that he has his own political aspirations where a sound bite or a headline supporting the laws, including those in favor of the legal ownership of firearms will have more value for him down the road. I will believe it when I see Peduto, Burgess, and the rest of these criminals being charged and prosecuted. Until that happens, it's all just fish wrapping in the newspaper.

Supposedly they have a private firm helping them but won't disclose. Talk about transparency.

all subject to foia if paid for by the taxpayers.

I guess we'll see if the DA has the balls to actually file charges. I'm betting he doesn't.

You deserve to be slapped upside the head and

They haven't call off the hearing.

Despite DA's Warning, City Council Will Move Forward On Gun Legislation


Councilman Corey O'Connor say are on 'the right side of history'

Wow.

Edit: Obviously, we all knew that this was the reality of these proposed laws...but I'm a little shocked that Zappala was proactive in sending such a letter...

My take on the letter is that Zappala was not proactive.. rather a (or a couple) council members woke up after the Pittsburgh rally and asked for legal counsel and Zappala provided such in his letter back.

So how many Council members will vote with Mayor Potatoehead if they know THEY can be brought before a judge for violating 6120??

He says in his letter he does not agree with the current law.. if he doesn't bring charges then gun owners should! Against each and every council member that votes yes

Which will have to be prosecuted by him. You can file a private criminal complaint against them, doesn't mean that he will actually follow through. Government at all levels has basically no accountability. They're free to violate any law they choose and those that are tasked with maintaining the checks and balances do nothing.

Keep in mind, that Mayor Potato is conspiring with other mayors across the state to also violate the law. Where is the AG's office, silent because it's a "local matter".

The balls on this tyrant. His response doesn't get any more childish.
