No, not another Giants post (But they did beat the Cowboys last night, you see the game?), a Pittsburgh G20 gun ban post.

I read on some blog (anybody know which one?) about how Pittsburgh was thinking about trying to become Philadelphia and ban certain guns during the protests.

I can't find anything more recent than last week where they had "delayed giving police the power" to enforce the statute they already passed. (I think I read about that on some blog, eh, probably not).

But in the above story, we find this
References to a list of "assault weapons" that the city banned in 1993 -- only to have the ban quashed by the General Assembly in 1994 -- have been deleted from the legislation. Council members feared they would be mired in a lawsuit with the National Rifle Association that the city would likely lose.


Maybe they realized they would be "mired" in more lawsuits they'd lose. And cost lots of money.
Hence the title, a win for the good guys. Too bad they had to use to the courts to do it.
The law shouldn't be that much of a ass.
