Gun rights groups sued to block Pittsburgh from enforcing firearms legislation passed after a mass shooting at a synagogue, accusing city officials of blatantly defying the state's prohibition on municipal gun regulation.

"All it will do is leave law-abiding citizens more vulnerable to attack from better-armed and more ruthless assailants," one suit challenging the laws says.

PITTSBURGH — Gun rights groups sued Tuesday to block Pittsburgh from enforcing firearms legislation passed after a mass shooting at a synagogue, accusing city officials of blatantly defying the state's prohibition on municipal gun regulation. "We are going to take some action, we are going to do something positive and, yes, it is going to be everlasting," said Peduto, surrounded by gun-control advocates and members of three congregations that were targeted in the shooting rampage at Tree of Life Synagogue."Change only happens when you challenge the status quo."

Seems nobody takes action until it hits in their own backyard.

Finally a gun ban! Now all the guns will disappear and no one will ever be able to get one! It’s about time! We should ban drugs next!!

NRA should be designated a terrorist group

its happened in a different country.....lame

laxietoo

Perhaps the NRA will let us know how many dead Jews (or children, or abused spouses) would be their tipping point for considering firearms legislation.

The concept of “military style” essentially only refers to cosmetics and has nothing to do with the weapons operation. This ban is unconstitutional.

The criminals need to disarm the populace and they need to do it quickly. Shitz about to hit the fan.

New Zealand was able to this and more nationwide less than one month after the tragedy in their country. We are pathetic.

Whats a 'military style assault weapon'?

'temporary seizure of guns from people who are determined to be a danger'-Peduto 'For the first time, a civilized nation has full gun registration! Our streets will be safer, our police more efficient, and the world will follow our lead into the future!'-Hitler

NRA = New Radical Abomination

The don’t have the legal authority to limit your Constitutional rights. Just a liberal ploy

Finally somebody that got tired of “thoughts and prayers” and did something ! Bravo Mayor Peduto !

Sounds like the nra is anti-Semitic

The Russian supported NRA wants to see the nation torn apart from within.

Gun rights groups quickly sued to block Pittsburgh from enforcing the legislation, accusing city officials of defying the state's prohibition on municipal gun regulation. The NRA backs one of the suits, declaring that 'Pittsburgh has violated the rights of its citizens.' (2/5)

aww poor babies all you NRAnutjobs so scared to fight by other means that you quickly ALWAYS go for guns? wimps

Now this attempt by the NRA appears to be anti-Semitic. Where's DonaldJTrumpJr? His silence is obvious.

Someone had to be the first

Along with this there should be daily reminder to dismiss any kind of supremacy 🙌

The NRA likes dead people.

ITS ABOUT TIME🙌
