The Pittsburgh City Council is pushing a ban on AR-15s and other commonly-owned semiautomatic rifles, as well BB guns and starter pistols.
The ban would prohibit the possession of some weapons, while limiting the possession of other weapons to one’s own land and/or residence.

A statute with teeth was passed a couple of years ago, and signed into law; but a corrupt AG (she went to prison) and cities took it to court and had the law thrown out on an almost never used technicality.
The end result was the cities (particularly Philadelphia) simply ignore the law, and pass illegal ordinances.
Not buying into This “Crazy”
Anymore.
Meat thermometers....sharp and pointy and designed for easy stabbing...
They pass them.BUT,If they try to enforce them on you you will win in court The last one with TEETH was thrown out because an outside organization such as the NRA was able to join you in the case .That became a no no.The only entity that can pass legal firearms laws is the State legislature.
BB guns?
How will we keep squirrels off the board feeder?
Pencils pens pins petunias
