Gun Rights Advocates Move To Impeach Pittsburgh Mayor
Posted  January 29, 2019 by Tom Knighton


Pittsburgh Mayor Bill Peduto has angered gun rights advocates. That’s not that big of a deal, in and of itself. I mean, he’s the mayor of a large urban center. It’s unlikely that he really needs to worry about gun rights activists all that much most of the time.

But he may want to start rethinking that idea.

After all, they’re trying to impeach him from office, and even some who disagree with the gun rights crowd may side with them on this effort.

Some gun rights advocates are now trying to push Pittsburgh’s mayor out of office and possibly have him criminally charged over his gun control plans.

Republican ward Chair Brooke Nadonley, of Mt. Washington, and Val Finnell, of Firearms Owners Against Crime, made the rounds Monday at the Allegheny County Courthouse, trying to file a petition to impeach Bill Peduto.

“One of the grounds of his malfeasance, which would be the attempt to manipulate and change Pennsylvania gun laws,” Nadonley said.

The truth is, Mayor Peduto, no one needs to engage you on the debate for one simple reason. You and your city council lack the blasted authority to regulate guns, as per state law you authoritarian jackwagon. There’s no debate to be had at the local level because it’s not legal for you to regulate guns at the local level.
