City Council Passing Gun Legislation Could Be A Crime

PITTSBURGH (Newsradio 1020 KDKA) – In a letter to Pittsburgh City Council, Allegheny County District Attorney Stephen Zappala is warning members about possible repercussions of the gun control legislation before them.

He tells KDKA Radio's Lynne Hayes-Freeland city council could be committing a crime if legislation is passed.

“There’s some strong language in the series of statues that deal with firearms there’s a prevision that says it’s possible that this could be treated as a crime if you pass unconstitutional legislation knowing it’s unconstitutional,” said Zappala.

O’CONNOR: Yeah, you know, we believe we’re on the right side of history. We believe we’re doing what’s right for our city but we think this is what’s right across the country, and nobody is gonna stop us from doing that. And we are going to get, hopefully, our votes from City Council to pass this bill and move forward from there.

In my experience, city councils often try to exceed their authority. Must be something about giving a person a little power and they feel they have to impose their will on others. I hope they get sued into the oblivion.
