Over at the website Bearing Arms Tom Knighton reports that Group Threatens Lawsuit Over Pittsburgh Gun Measures. The Mayor of Pittsburgh, PA has stated his intention to ban certain firearms, accessories and ammunition inside the city. In addition, he wants other cities throughout the nation to pass similar measures. Of course, Pittsburgh is not an island unto itself, but a part of a State that has preempted the cities from making and enforcing such laws. But that doesn't matter to Democrats (read Communists). If it is a law they don't like, they ignore it, or actually defy it.
Naturally, we can't expect the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to enforce its own laws; heck no. Instead, we have to enforce the laws of the Commonwealth ourselves, which cost money. And of course, that means we have less money for ammunition, training, competition and so forth. Therein lies the real goal. Besides making it more difficult for the honest gun owner, who must decide if he plans to visit Pittsburgh today or not, they hope to bleed us dry. Knighton assigns very little chance that the law stands. But then it doesn't have to stand, does it? The mayor will effectively send the signal that the police can harass gun owners and concealed carriers without penalty.
I don't know if Pennsylvania law allows asking for the costs to be paid by the loser, but the groups suing should certainly ask that. In addition, the mayor should be held criminally liable. I know, I know, fat chance that.
But just once, wouldn't it be nice to see these crap weasels perp walked out of their offices? Wouldn't it be nice if THEY had the target on THEIR backs instead of constantly having it on us.? Well, a man can dream.
