According to the 18 december 18 cited article...

Have watched it live. I saw BB62 there. But, in watching the speakers there was a doofus wearing an union jack mask with dark glasses. A wuss who could not stand-up and be recognized in defending his rights, pitiful. Strong language, yes, and I stand by it. I have been to many rallies and walks and never once did the thought of covering my face ever cross my mind.

Personally liked the big lad to the left while dillion was speaking his intro who yawned to the point you could count his teeth...

Here is the preemption law that Pittsburgh is considering violating:

https://law.justia.com/codes/pennsylvania/2010/title-18/chapter-61/6120/

I don't know whether or not PA has ever had a state Supreme Court ruling on its constitutionality.

I did see mention of some 1995 consent agreement that Pittsburgh would be in violation of should they do such a thing, however.

Dave, glad to see the PA opportunity could be turned to a self promoting advert shot to WA, quote from Mr. Workman’s cite:

That rhetoric is not unlike one hears at the far end of the country...unquote

Some guy on the left, and the organizer, Justin Dillon

At the parking garage rally point

One of a few black participants. As many have, he told me he gets a lot of grief from 'his own' about his gun ownership & activism

An Ohioan (on the right) who had driven across the state to attend, together with anti-gun signage I believe is illegal, as the entire building is a claimed "court facility"

Crowd

"Yinz" = Pittsburgh version of "Y'all"

An anti-gunner with cameras to catch non-existent trouble. (RKBA people were on both sides of the street, however)

It looks like the PA Supreme Court HAS ruled on the constitutionality of PA's preemption statute - in 1996, ruling against Pittsburgh and Philadelphia, in Ortiz v Commonwealth:

However, the problem still remains that there are no repercussions, financial or civil, for political subdivisions that pass or enforce such laws.

 

[Mr Birdman]

I think there needs to be a open carry event soon.

Well they did it!! Let the fun begin. We need to have another OC event.

Pittsburgh City Clowncil passes gun "safety" legislation

https://www.wtae.com/article/city-council-to-vote-on-new-gun-safety-legislation-tuesday/27011991

"Mayor Bill Peduto and the Pittsburgh City Council members who sponsored the newly proposed gun legislation know that it will be legally challenged.

But that hasn't stopped them from moving forward and Tuesday, City Council held a final vote on the three bills that will make a number of legal changes to gun possession in the city of Pittsburgh.

City Council passed the bills Tuesday morning to ban assault-style rifles. The vote was 6-3. ..."
