A Butler County lawmaker has called for Pittsburgh Mayor Bill Peduto’s impeachment after the mayor signed controversial gun legislation into law on Tuesday.
State Rep. Daryl Metcalfe tweeted Tuesday afternoon, saying, “I just asked our attorney to have a resolution drafted to IMPEACH the Mayor of Pittsburgh for his illegal gun control ordinances!”
Peduto fired back, tweeting a list of several failed bills Metcalfe has supported in the past.
Pittsburgh City Council passed the package of firearms bills by a vote of 6-3 last week. There was a lot of opposition against the bills over the past several months, and opponents immediately filed suit to block it.
The bill- in part- restricts military-assault weapons; bans most uses of high-capacity magazines; and allows the temporary seizure of guns from people who are determined to be a danger to themselves or others.
