Court again blocks Phila.'s try for gun-control law
By Jeff Shields
Inquirer Staff Writer
A Commonwealth Court ruled yesterday against the city's right to pass its own gun-control ordinances, prompting an angry Mayor Nutter to demand state lawmakers take action with the funeral of another slain police officer looming Tuesday.
"You're either on the side of the criminals or you're on the side of law-abiding public. That's it," Nutter said.
The Commonwealth Court, in its ruling, concurred with a long line of opinions that said only the state has the power to regulate guns.
Yesterday's ruling is but a step in a legal-political grappling match that pits Nutter and City Council against the state legislature and the National Rifle Association.
City Council passed seven gun-control laws last year, which, among other things, sought to limit handgun purchases to one per month and require the reporting of lost or stolen firearms. In deference to the state, those laws required approval by the state legislature before they could take effect.

You're either a real asshole or you're very very stupid. That's it."You're either on the side of the criminals or you're on the side of law-abiding public. That's it," Nutter said.

Once again, Mayor Nutter is living up to his nickname "Mayor Nutjob" 
And if he thinks his whining is going to have any sway in in Harrisburg, then he really is as clueless as the rest of us thinks he is.

Simple - it's Philly. All they ever seem to do is elect left wing loonies.
Most have the sense that Pennsylvania is more than Bucks, Phillidelphia, Montgomery and Chester County. And that means what flies in the city of brotherly love, will get you rude stares at the least, and torch wielding mobs at the worst outside it.
