Private complaints have been filed against Mayor Bill Peduto, seven members of the Pittsburgh City Council and the City Solicitor over the controversial proposed gun ban. In December, Councilmembers and Peduto’s office drafted legislation to ban assault rifles, accessories like bump stocks and allow courts to temporarily prohibit anyone determined to be dangerous from possessing a gun.
The complaints filed with Allegheny County District Attorney Stephen Zappala argue that the gun legislation violates the Pennsylvania Constitution.
“The gun control ordinances that they have put forward are illegal. The District Attorney has also told them that it’s illegal in a letter, and they just decided to proceed with it anyway. They are demonstrating criminal intent,” gun rights advocate Val Finnell said.
Finnell, a retired Army Colonel from McKees Rocks, filed a private criminal complaint.
