The Pittsburgh City Council Is Pushing A Ban On Ar-15s And Other Commonly-owned Semiautomatic Rifles, As Well Bb Guns And Starter Pistols.
The ban would prohibit the possession of some weapons, while limiting the possession of other weapons to one’s own land and/or residence.
Regarding “assault weapons,” the City Council says, “It shall be unlawful to manufacture, sell, purchase, transport, carry, store, or otherwise hold in one’s possession within the City of Pittsburgh an assault weapon.”
