Judge Strikes Pittsburgh Ban on Use of AR-15s, ‘High Cap’ Magazines
[BREITBART] The Allegheny Court of Common Pleas on Monday struck down Pittsburgh’s ban on the use of AR-15s inside city limits.
Breitbart News reported Pittsburgh Mayor Bill Peduto (D) signed the ban on AR-15 usage April 9, 2019. WJAC reported other aspects of the gun control banned "most uses of armor-piercing ammunition and high-capacity magazines." The controls signed by Peduto were also intended to allow guns to be seized from individuals via a Red Flag Law.
WESA reported Allegheny County Judge Joseph James found all the controls "void and unenforceable," due to the state’s preemption statute.
A preemption law means a city or municipality is barred from passing gun controls that exceed those existing at the state level.
