pre-emption

Gun laws invalid:

Philadelphia officials cannot enact gun laws tougher than Pennsylvania’s law, a state appeals court ruled Friday in throwing out city ordinances that included limiting gun purchases to one a month and banning assault weapons.

Commonwealth Court dismissed a lawsuit against the Legislature filed by two members of Philadelphia’s City Council, Darrell L. Clarke and Donna Reed Miller.

The court cited language in several gun ordinances the council passed last year that the measures cannot take effect unless the Legislature were to let municipalities enact stricter laws. That has not happened.

    The D.A., who is clearly no fan of the Second Amendment, said that she would not prosecute anyone arrested under these alleged laws, saying she knew the City would be sued and would lose.

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
