The astounding part of this story to me is that there are actually 2 Republicans still living within the City of Pittsburgh.

Encouraging though to see this pushback against Mayor Peduto's gun-grabbing efforts which clearly violate state law. He lashed out recently at Democrat DA Stephen Zappala for issuing an opinion that the measure did in fact violate state law and could not be defended.

There is more here than meets the eye where Zappala is concerned. He is from an old-school mobbed-up union Democrat family. It seems he sees an opening here to wrest control of the local Democrat Party back from Bill Peduto and the Millenial techie crowd who want to turn Pittsburgh into the greenest-gayest-friendliest city on the planet.

I fixed it for some (’cause some others won’t ever get it).

Like that “goofy” defense of the second amendment and state law. Hopefully they can succeed in forcing these folks out of office as it would be good to start seeing some pushback at local levels.
