2. Kudos to the NRA...
and DA Lynne Abraham for their support of the PA (and US), Constitution...

(from a more recent article)...


Even though the city may now be able to enforce some of the laws, there may be another roadblock at home. District Attorney Lynne Abraham has said that all five of the laws are unconstitutional and that she won't enforce them

"It's a partial victory," said Douglas I. Oliver, Mayor Nutter's spokesman. He said that the judge's decision to let three laws stand "shows that this city's actions were legal and not actions of a renegade government."


Uhhh... no brainiac... try again...


But Greenspan gave city officials a consolation prize by declining to strike down three other laws on procedural grounds, indicating that the NRA and other plaintiffs did not have legal standing to challenge those laws.


Which... will undoubtedly be struck down on appeal. :smoke:
