Et tu Pittsburgh?

I didn't know that Pittsburgh was going to host the G-20 next month.

They're all afraid of the traveling riot that comes with it so they've decided to enact Philadelphia style, anti-state-law "laws" making carrying certain firearms illegal even if you can legally carry them according to state law.

Not all firearms, they have a list of 37 that will be illegal.  Because the rioters are going to check the list to make sure theirs are legal.
 
So the Pittsburgh Post Gazette has something to say about it:
 
We would be the first to concede that the gun provisions are legally dubious, given that in this case -- regrettably -- state law would seem to preempt anything Pittsburgh might enact. Empowering the police to be mind readers of intent is also troublesome
....

They go on say the city's masters have to be careful about it.
You can smell the foul stench of their "but" coming, can't you?.
But please spare us those who would make an unreasonable, absolutist defense of the Second Amendment


You know, cuz our political, social, intellectual and moral betters get to decide which rights we can be trusted with.

I've really been rooting for an asteroid lately. Not one the size of Texas, just a Lucifer's Hammer sized one. I'd ride it out in the Catskills, they should be above the tsunami and my uncle's family has been farming there for generations so we should survive.
