Fred Delia, co-owner of Delia's Gun Shop in Wissinoming, had a different take.
He said the gun crackdown "sounds like the British are coming back."
With equal patriotic fervor, he declared that Nutter and City Council should be arrested for violating state law and a 1996 Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruling that said only the state legislature can regulate firearms.
No, not "with equal patriotic fervor," you astoundingly ignorant "Authorized Journalist."
Nutter's fervor is treasonous.

Fred Delia of Delia's Gun shop had the right idea when he said that Mayor Nutter should be arrested for violating state law that only the PA state legislature can regulate firearms, but he didn't go far enough.
U.S. Constitution, Amendment II: A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
"Reread that pesky first clause of the Second Amendment. It doesn't say what any of us thought it said. What it says is that infringing the right of the people to keep and bear arms is treason. What else do you call an act that endangers "the security of a free state"? And if it's treason, then it's punishable by death. I suggest due process, speedy trials, and public hangings." -- L. Neil Smith
Start the process tomorrow. If indicted by a Grand Jury and found guilty by a jury of their peers, hang Mr. Nutter, and every member of that unanimous City Council, at dawn, on the following day.

If you substitute "their peers" with "fully informed peers," I'd almost be with you--and maybe I'm just not hard enough, but I'd prefer to see exile.
