The one thing that gets Republicans to support gun control is black folks with guns.
... Are Reagan and Nixon the liberals?
NOW you're on the trolley!
Shit, those two are conservatives, even, from the party that LOVES their guns.
“gun control”
2A is your permit. Sue the city.
Exactly city has no authority to revoke your 2A rights.
The cops will shoot you if you don't comply. That's where the authority comes from.
Shoot back
Cops have better weapons. Their only disadvantage is there are less of them and they are cowards. Their 2 major disadvantages are there are less of them, they are cowards and they are all out of shape. Their 3 major disadvantages are ... I'll come back in again.
Get better weapons then.
You don't need automatic weapons to be effective; outside of small-unit tactics, they're not super useful in the first place. And I'll betcha that my AR-10 and AR-15 are better than what cops get issued, because I set mine up for long range precision and competition specifically.
there are less of them... they are all out of shape
Don't lie to yourself about this. Never underestimate your enemy.
Cops also have the advantage of almost always being able to dictate the terms of engagement. They don't come for you when you're in your house, ready to repel them. They get you in your car on the freeway, or at your job when you can't be safe, and when you don't have the numbers behind you.
I'm not as much of a gun proponent on individual ownership grounds but this clearly seems like the well regulated militia as a bulwark against tyranny that the founders were talking about.
If you need a permit it was never a right. arm up
Anyone got info on the Jan 31 incident that is the origin of this? I couldn't find anything, just an earlier shouting match between the cops and Lions.
Typically, open carry is legal in all of Pennsylvania except Philadelphia, where you need a carry license to open carry. Usually the Philly-only gun laws get overturned rather quickly, but this seems to have remained in place for 20 years with few legal challenges.
Dunno why the ATF was brought into the original comments, as this seems to be a city and/or state issue. Feds don't look to be involved here.
The world is going crazy.... We must defend and protect ourselves because the finest people who were supposed to be doing that are basically evil goons....hmmm you guys over there, hand over your license. Yeah sorry, but ya're not allowed to ya know, defend. Alright, han'em over. Go on, gettarehere!

To reload drop the magazine, rack the slide to clear any stuck rounds, and insert a fresh magazine.
As a 2A supporter living in a far left state I am constantly reminded, "The people voted for these officials who made these laws."
You only really get to vote for whoever is running. I mean you can often write in a vote, but you're not going to elect a write-in.
I'm gonna be real here. who the heck hears black panther type group and thinks Trump voters they deserve it.
We are talking about Americans, their level of stupid is unimaginable.
Eeeh we aren't all that unique or exceptional. Despite what the propaganda says. But our education systems are certainly lacking when it comes to teaching anything, any history involving labor or minorities.
