Such chutzpah.
"Almost 232 years ago, a group of concerned Americans took matters in their own hands and did what they needed to do by declaring that the time had come for a change," Nutter said as he signed the bills in front of a table of confiscated weapons outside the police evidence room in City Hall.
There is so much irony in Nutter’s actions it is hard to know where to begin. I kinda like the fact that Nutter doesn’t even know that the opening shots of the American Revolution (Lexington and Concord) were because the British were trying to confiscate the arms (assault rifles of the day) of the local citizens.
Socialists are going to do what they are going to do (increase the power of government and take away rights and liberties from the people). I just wish they would know at least know a little history so at least they would not look so ignorant as they do it.

His name sure suits him well...
Right, 2B!
God knows what would have happened had those British troops gotten their hands on those stands of arms and ammo of the Americans.
Mayor Nutter obviously believes that criminals will observe gun laws. What a fool.
How is that some silly people believe that if you take guns out of the hands of law abiding citizens, that action makes us safer?
Nutter—What an entirely apropos name.
(I’m sure I’m not the first to make this observation.)
“Almost 232 years ago, a group of concerned Americans took matters in their own hands and did what they needed to do by declaring that the time had come for a change,”
He must be refering to those men who stockpiled arms and started shooting agents of their corrupt government.
And with the use of military weapons if needed.
Commence firing.
This is a fine example of a liberal nut(ter) taking a look at the laws on the books as well as established precedent and saying “to hell with that” and making his own socialist laws. God save us from these people.
Mayor Nutter likened himself and City Council members yesterday to the band of rebels who formed this country
Well let them secede from the country first and see what that gets them.
Such chutzpah.
“But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.” From the Declaration of Independence
Looks like the Governor should call out the Penn State Police to bring him in.
"Assault weapon" confiscation turns violent in Boston
Scores Killed, Hundreds Injured As Para-Military Extremists Riot
BOSTON, April 20- National Guard units seeking to confiscate a cache of recently banned assault weapons were ambushed on April 19th by elements of a para-military extremist faction. Military and law enforcement sources estimated that 72 were killed and more than 20 injured before government forces were compelled to withdraw.
Speaking after the clash, Massachusetts Governor Thomas Gage declared that the extremist faction, which was made up of local citizens, has links to the radical right-wing tax protest movement. Gage blamed the extremists for recent incidents of vandalism directed against internal revenue offices.
The governor, who described the group's organizers as "criminals," issued an executive order authorizing the summary arrest of any individual who has interfered with the government's efforts to secure law and order.
The military raid on the extremist arsenal followed wide-spread refusal by the local citizenry to turn over recently outlawed assault weapons. Gage issued a ban on military-style assault weapons and ammunition earlier in the week. This decision followed a meeting in early April between government and military leaders at which the governor authorized the forcible confiscation of illegal arms. One government official, speaking on condition of anonymity, pointed out that "none of these people would have been killed had the extremists obeyed the law and turned their weapons over voluntarily."
"Government troops initially succeeded in confiscating a large supply of outlawed weapons and ammunition. However, troops attempting to seize arms and ammunition in Lexington met with resistance from heavily-armed extremists who had been tipped off regarding the government's plans.
During a tense standoff in Lexington's town park, National Guard Colonel Francis Smith, commander of the government operation, ordered the armed group to surrender and return to their homes. The impasse was broken by a single shot, which was reportedly fired by one of the right-wing extremists. Eight civilians were killed in the ensuing exchange.
Ironically, the local citizenry blamed government forces rather than the extremists for the civilian deaths. Before order could be restored, armed citizens from surrounding areas had descended upon the guard units. Colonel Smith, finding his forces overmatched by the armed mob, ordered a retreat.
Governor Gage has called upon citizens to support the state/national joint task force in its effort to restore law and order. The governor has also demanded the surrender of those responsible for planning and leading the attack against the government troops. Samuel Adams, Paul Revere, and John Hancock, who have been identified as "ringleaders" of the extremist faction, remain at large.

Who is the governor?
Take the Nutter out in cuffs and lock him up.
What's the point of following the rules. No one else does!
"All people who run for office should be first required to take and 'pass' an IQ test."(He's for the Fair, or 'Flat' Tax)
But he has no respect for what those concerned Americans were fighting for! His name befits him...
I had to read that 2 times just to get that his NAME was NUTTER. It just fit, then I realized it was a MSM Article, and they wouldn’t call a person by the proper term. It isn’t PC.
Nutter should get the Tar and Feathers!
"We are going to make ourselves independent of the violence that's been taking place in this city for far too long," he said. " Mayor NUTTER demonstrates his name is appropriate.
The problem with violence in the C-O-M-M-U-N-I-T-Y isn't guns, its the total breakdown of the family and the proliferation of illegitimate children and fatherless children. And its not MY problem OR that of people who don't reproduce in this fashion.
FURTHER, the Founding Fathers used guns to achieve their objectives. They didn't blame British Oppression on Brown Bess Muskets or frontier violence on trade muskets and Long rifles.
Mayor Nutter - says it all
Am I to understand that Nutter used to pick cotton?
