Well I say "Great!"
If they ban guns, it will obviously mean all of the criminals won't be able to use them any more. Maybe more cities will follow suit; I think the local ACORN offices would be the best place to turn in said weapons; think of the children. |

Pittsburgh at one time had a gun ban on certain guns but it was thrown out due to a state preemption law.
They did not learn the first time. |

Dont get your panties in a bunch, they only wanted to ban "assault" weapons from the G20 Summit. Remember the black guy with the slung AR, they want that banned. Nothing else.

Listen, our state government wont be able to stop it in time if they pass a city wide temporary ban.
Besides you guys keep talking about state preemption. Id be shocked if Rendells goon squad (PSP) wasnt the one to make arrests/hold for questioning anyone that dared to sling an AR. |

Philly tries all the time and they can't do anything either. Nothing pisses off a Philly lib more than knowing there are people walking around their city legally armed.

It has not been changed or amended since the current constitution went into effect in 1968. Here is a list of the all the amendments to our current constitution. http://www.paconstitution.duq.edu/legislativehistory1968/index.html |

Sigh.
They have an AWB on the books but cannot enforce it due to state preemption. Secondly, this was for the G20 protest and thanks to the NRA and people like me calling and bitching about not spending any money in the city the whole AWB for the G20 didn't pass. They still passed some screwed up stuff that is only temporary. This includes the fact that you cannot have padlocks, PVC pipe, etc. during the time of G20. It all expires September 30th. NRA was all over this so those of you who say they don't do anything they've been addressing this since day 1. |

Quoted: I think that Penssyltucky's 500,000 CCW holders might have something to say about that. Already did along with a lot of people. Additionally it did not happen; the G20 protester banned object law passed without guns in the mix. The law is also temporary. Philly tried it and of course it holds no weight. Pittsburgh is no different and after the three cops were killed this year the police chief agreed "something had to be done." The police union however wanted to push for patrol rifles which they got. The main fear it seemed was from protesters open carrying during the G20 protests. The protests ought to be interesting next week. I'll be around with some popcorn. |

As a Northern Kentuckian, I can REALLY appreciate this! Basically we're just the large, BETTER suburbs south of Cincinnati, but Ohio doesn't claim us because "We're damn hillbillies" and KY just thinks we're yanks. Can't win to lose, but we ALL make fun of Cleveland! Back to the topic.... what would the city do if say, oh, 500,000 people marched in Pittsburgh WITH AR's slung on their arms during this bullshit? What are they going to do, arrest us ALL? Besides, we'd all have them unloaded, of course. The mag pouches on our hips are inconsequential. Pay them no mind. |
