Pittsburgh’s Controversial Gun Legislation On Hold For Now

Pittsburgh’s controversial gun legislation is on hold for now. At a court hearing today the City agreed it will not enforce it until a court rules on its legality. The legislation, which was signed by Mayor Bill Peduto in April, makes it illegal to use assault weapons within the city. The legislation also gives courts the power to take weapons away from people deemed to be a risk. It’s unclear when a court ruling will take place. Gun rights advocates argue the new law goes against their Constitutional rights.
