Pittsburgh loses PreEmption appeal over assult weapons ban, mag limits, red flags

I understand your anger and frustration, but it worked out as it should have. They pushed to create a law that violated an existing law. The court put it down.

Other people who attempt to break the law also go before a court. It seems the system/process worked here.

But it's our tax dollars fighting against our donated dollars and there's nothing to stop them from trying again. They
have an endless supply of dollars (ours) to make these unconstitutional "laws" and no penalty for them in doing so...

Yeah, if they had to repay our tax dollars I'd be OK with that but since there is no penalty, there is no deterrent.

[Bang]

Maybe an attorney could file regarding malfeasance with (I believe) the potential of loss of office?

Having our taxpayer's dollars in their back pockets needs addressing. Punishment for deliberate disregard of law needs a more equitable application.

I have written before, I am no longer willing to finance the inevitable continuous skirmishes while the larger invasion remains virtually untouched. That is, violations of the 2nd amendment that have come to be a standard, and violations of our commonwealth's constitution.

Of all of the things that my tax dollars go to fund, overruling unlawful legislation is not one that I will complain about. That is the checks and balances system working as it was designed to work. And I'm OK with that.

The grief is that they piss the money away passing unlawful legislation to begin with. Resulting in our money being spent on both ends by us, the taxpayers.

That the money could have went to fixing the bridges in Shitsburg.

This.

The state law says "local jurisdictions cannot do a specific thing"

Local jurisdiction says "We are going to do thst exact specific thing"

State says "No. You aren't."

Local says "What?! Why!? This is totally news to us!"

How is this any different than a burglar saying "Well I know breaking into houses is explocitly against the law.... but I'm doing to do it anyway and see what happens"

[Bang]

They passed LTCF law and requirements, then charged us money for the "service". Got away with that, so of course they'll keep trying other crap.
